Asher Week 7: Merciful
Maybe you've walked six weeks with Asher and the storm is still going. Maybe the miracle you hoped for at the beginning hasn't arrived yet.

Seven Nights With Asher: A Story of Storms, Demons, and Surrender
Two men. One stormy night. A fisherman white-knuckling the oars in a sinking boat. A man screaming among the tombs on the far shore. In the Gospel of Mark, their stories collide when Jesus crosses a deadly storm to reach the one soul everyone else has given up on. This is the story of Asher — the demoniac of Gerasa — and the seven nights that Christ spent walking into the darkest places to bring the lost home.

Over the next seven encounters, we'll trace the journey from chains to freedom, from screaming to silence, from self-hatred to surrender. No easy answers. No three-step programs. Just raw honesty about what it means to be found by God when you're at your most lost.
