We often feel limited and question the providence of God in our lives. But my guest in this episode challenges our “stuck” thinking, encouraging us to ground our obedience to God in our God-given identity in Christ.

As she tells us more of her story, we’ll consider what obedience to God looks like for each one of us. If you missed the first half of Zahara’s journey, head back to episode #139 for part one. Then head back here to see why God’s only qualifier is a willing heart…
