Some troubles God uses to help us grow and develop endurance. There are obstacles in our lives, however, that we need to overcome...not just endure.  Be sure that the message of Mandisa's song "Overcomer" is one that you can truly proclaim. In 1 John 5, John asks, "Who can overcome the world?"  I want to sing along with Mandisa on your behalf, "You're an OVERCOMER!"

Join me as we discover how to truly be overcomers.

On this week's episode I discuss:
