“When God invites His children on an adventure, on a faith journey, it always begins by saying goodbye to something familiar.” On today’s episode Stacy speaks with Laura Story, award-winning songwriter, worship leader, author and Bible teacher.  Listen in as Laura shares with humor and humility all the Lord is teaching her as she is letting go of her idea of how a normal family life should look and instead trusting the God’s direction, provision and promises.
