Jesus knows everything about us, our darkest secrets, our scariest skeletons in the closet, and he says, “Come, see the nail scars in my hands, find forgiveness for your shameful regrets.” Then, the enemy’s lie is: “The more of God in your life, the less you’ll find joy in life.” Jesus says, “The more of me in your life, the more you’ll experience peace, meaning, purpose and unshakeable love.”

Next, Shawna’s best friend Latrece joins the team! In her 20’s Latrece found herself relying on Percocet and brandy to deal with the deep pain in her heart. That’s when her mom asked her to come to a woman’s conference. Toward the end of the meeting, the speaker said “Latrece where are you?” The speaker had no idea who Latrece was. But God did. What Latrece did next changed her life forever.

Then, Latrece’s right now is hard—With people close to her she’s seeing death, divorce, depression, and drugs. It’s really hard. And there’s one powerful promise that’s holding her together. Finally, we live in a culture that wants to cancel us for our faith in Jesus. But don’t freak out! Keep on sharing the good news with gentleness and respect!
