Summary For this special Discipleship Night at VBPH, we were excited to have Sabin Chambers explore the concept of the 'secret place' as a spiritual space within our hearts where we can encounter God. He emphasizes the importance of seeing God in our daily lives, understanding the new covenant through the Spirit, and the transformative power of conviction. Sabin encourages listeners to lean into conviction and embrace the light of God for true change and maturity in their spiritual journey.
