In this episode, Jennie and Dr. Alicia Britt Chole talk about getting lost in the night and just how normal it is. If you are searching in your journey of faith – you aren’t alone. Joab, Elijah, Moses, and even Jesus have all been here. Just because we are followers of Christ doesn’t mean we won’t suffer. Jennie and Dr. Chole’s conversation shows us how God is inviting us to be with Him in that darkness and explains why challenging and questioning Him is all part of the process.
