On the 25th anniversary of September 11th, we find ourselves reflecting on a question that has echoed through the decades: “Where was God when it happened?” In this moving episode of The Church of 434 in Motion, Jeff Dixon invites us to look past our anger, confusion, and grief to find a powerful perspective. Through a poignant “letter from Jesus,” we are reminded that even in the darkest smoke and deepest pain of that fateful day, God was not absent—He was present in every seat, every prayer, and every final heartbeat. Join us for this time of reflection as we honor the memory of those lost and rediscover the promise that He is with us in our own final moments.
NOTE: The letter’s author Jeff read is unknown.

Just as ancient athletes endured intense training for a temporary wreath of leaves, we are called to remain faithful through temptation to receive the ultimate eternal reward. Discover how to shift your perspective on life’s challenges, embrace the discipline of spiritual growth, and run your race with the confidence that the highest prize awaits those who persevere in God’s love.
