What we may think are the negatives in our lives, God can use those as purposeful positives to mold our lives into what He wants them to be.

Imagine sitting down to pen words of faith, laid on your heart by God, while in the midst of great grief and tremendous suffering. For most of us, we would never expect our words to have much of an impact beyond helping us to spill our broken hearts onto paper. In this episode, Tracie is joined by Abigail Medford, who shares the amazing faith of three women who may have seemed to the world to have little to offer, but who gave all they had to God by sharing the thoughts of their hearts through hymns of encouragement. Because of their contribution to our rich Christian heritage, we are still blessed through singing their hymns all these hundreds of years later!
