"This is the God who gave his life for me. This is the God who has bigger dreams for me and better things for me than I would plan for myself. Will I willingly rejoice in his hand over the comings and goings of my life and be at peace with that?"
— Kelly Needham
Today's Episode: We're all tempted to be the boss of our own lives, to be the one watching over ourselves and everybody else. On today's episode, Natalie chats with Bible teacher Kelly Needham about the fear, exhaustion, and folly of trying to control our own lives and the safety, freedom, and goodness that comes from entrusting our lives to God instead.
This month's memory verse: "The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore." — Psalm 121:8
Today's guest: Kelly Needham hopes to convince as many people as possible that nothing compares to knowing Jesus. She is the author of Friendish and Purposefooled and cohost of the Cleary podcast, along with her husband, Jimmy. Kelly and Jimmy have five children and live in the Dallas, Texas area.
