All good stories have beginnings but the greatest story ever told has no end. After much prayer and consideration, we believe Lighten’s time has come to an end. While this season has been shorter than we had hoped, we trust God’s plan and know that He had a purpose and reason for our time together at Lighten. But don’t worry, you can still access all of the YouTube videos and our website content through the Summer of 2023. So, go give it look and a listen! It was created to give hope and light to a dark world, and we want to make it available for as long as we can.

Thank you for listening. We know that God’s work will continue, His love endures forever, and that He is always inviting us to ask Him Why?
