  • Nothing Wasted: This Too Shall Pass

    Today's episode is about the dry spells and the challenges we face that tempt us to believe God no longer cares about us. This, of course, is false - God always cares for us and loves us, even through the valleys of our days. This episode has met with many challenges and even has some weird noises that weren't there when we recorded (the lawn mower outside the window is legit. ;) We pray for all our listeners because we know the Enemy wants us to believe God is far from us, even unreachable. He is not. He is right there with you through everything - the good and the bad! Nothing is wasted!!
