“What if the good news this week… is just to keep looking forward?”

Karoline M. Lewis takes us to Lakeside Chautauqua, where time feels like it’s standing still—but she reminds us of Jesus’ call to keep our hand on the plow and our eyes ahead.

It’s hard, right? When the past feels safer or simpler. But maybe hope lives in the forward glance.

Preachers, what are YOU seeing when you look ahead?
