Fresh Cup
A fully alive podcast of New Life Church in Pismo Beach, California. There's something beautiful, and often supernatural, that happens when we gather around a cup, whether it be with others, or time with Jesus. We are awakened and rejuvenated around the cup...and Jesus has something new and fresh for us each day. Will we have room in our cup for Him to refresh us?
