August 28, 2025Meditations on Fear
"Do not let tomrrow's worries rob you of today's joy."
Fear crowds it's way into many of our hearts. It is not a welcome guest, but we do not know how to be free from it's clutches. Yet all throughout Scripture we find the Lord telling us to fear not!
In this episode, I share Scriptures and truth that I meditate on to help me gain victory over my fears.

July 16, 2025Hymns for the Heart: Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus
'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
and to take him at his word;
