  • Love the guidance to find purpose

    I am enjoying this podcast and look forward to more episodes. I am encouraged but the biblical based truths that are shared and help us address hard topics either Gods truths. I enjoyed the episode addressing mental health as so many feel shame in their struggles. The Biblical references aligned beautifully and I loved the challenge to examine sin versus struggle and to live surrendered through it all.
