Together, we'll explore how to navigate life's challenges with faith and discover the immeasurable value of wisdom over worldly pursuits.

In today's episode, I share my story of struggling to belong and the lies we often tell ourselves. From my early insecurities as a preteen to crying out to God amidst deep loneliness, you'll hear how I found solace in unexpected moments, like when “Fields of Gold” played on my Walkman and brought me a divine sense of peace. We'll delve into the importance of choosing God's wisdom over fleeting trends and how that choice transforms our lives.

Just some reasons to listen to the entire episode:
