She Chooses Episode 1! Let's chat about what's really holding us back from answering God's call.

Matthew 6:21, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Matthew 10:39, “He who finds his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.”
Deuteronomy 31:8, “It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.”
