Word Pictures with Meredith

Scripture tells us that Jesus is at the door knocking, but it is up to us to open the door! (Revelation 3:20) We have the choice to let Him in or keep the door closed. Join Zac Swearingen and I for this awe inspiring conversation of life choices, the rise of hills and the tumbling down into valleys. You'll be encouraged and inspired through Zac's authenticity, passion, and dedication to his daily transformation in Christ. Whether or not we see God in our lives, there's no doubt about it, He sees us.

Join me as I share about an incredible story of obedience, the blessings that came from it and the fact that God's timing is always perfect. I find comfort knowing that God is the same yesterday, today and He'll be the same tomorrow. He was able then and He is able now. He IS the same God!

"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." Romans 12:2 NIV
