"Suffering is where our faith is made real... And anything you see of enduring faith in me, that's God. That's his strength in my weakness."

— Christine Hoover

Today's Episode: Listen in as Natalie talks with Bible teacher Christine Hoover about how God brought her through the most difficult year of her life.

More than that, she walk us through how she heard God's tender, faithful voice speaking to her in 2 Corinthians. You won't want to miss her amazing story!
