God Gives us All We Need...Can We Live Like it is True?

Have you ever wondered how you can do this life? And how in the world you can honor God while doing it? That is what we are talking about today!   Susie Crosby—author, teacher, and co-host of the Understand Your Bible podcast—joins Angela to explore the hope and power found in 2 Peter 1:3-4. Susie shares how God’s promises have carried her through seasons of change, loss, and uncertainty, and how we can experience “everything we need for life and godliness” right now. This episode is a gentle, practical invitation to step into God’s promises, hold on to hope, and discover joy even in the hardest days.   Episode Highlights

• Listeners are encouraged to find and hold on to God’s promises for their own hard moments, and to remember that God’s invitation to fullness of life is for everyone, no matter where they are on the journey.
