“We have that ability—we can take God’s Word and when it’s ingrained in us we can just take it and pick it up and pray it over ourselves and pray it over our loved ones.” — Jennifer Dukes Lee

Today, Jennifer Dukes Lee joins Natalie Abbott to talk about Luke 6:45a, and you won't want to miss it. Jennifer talks vulnerably about how God has met and sustained her and her family  in hard seasons through his Word. She encourages us to love our future selves by investing right now in knowing and loving God—banking up deposits by reading and memorizing his Word. She relates how God brings his Word back to mind and uses it to transform us in hard seasons. He is our good, and he alone can give us the good we are longing for.

This month’s memory verse: "A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart." — Luke 6:45a

Today's guest: Jennifer Dukes Lee is the bestselling author of several books, including Growing Slow, It’s All Under Control, and Stuff I’d Only Tell God.
