Every life has a story, and every story has the power to change another life. In Voices: The Butterfly Effect, we'll hear inspiring stories of God's faithfulness and discover how small moments of faith, generosity, courage, and obedience can create lasting impact. You may think your story isn't significant, but God often uses the ordinary to accomplish the extraordinary. Come be encouraged, challenged, and reminded that your life can make a difference far beyond what you imagine.

Week 3

What happens when ordinary people say "yes" to small nudges from God? In Part 3 of "The Butterfly Effect" series at Gateway Church, host Missy leads a panel discussion featuring Everyday believers—a nurse, an interpreter, a business owner, and a nonprofit founder—who share how simple steps of faith transformed their lives and impacted thousands around them.

No matter where you are or what your background is, God can use your everyday life to bring hope and healing to others.
