On this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy reminds us that God saves! As Paul wrote in Titus chapter 3, we’re saved ... not because of righteous things we’ve done, but because of God’s mercy! Before Christ, everything we did was tainted by sin. But in Christ, we’re not just given a clean slate, but a whole, new life!

Amid life’s chaos and pressures, the one thing that truly matters is choosing to sit at Jesus’ feet and embrace what cannot be taken from you.

Sheila Walsh’s happy childhood dissolved in an instant when her father suffered a devastating brain injury that led to violent outbursts, and ultimately, death by suicide. Sheila couldn’t understand why her dad hated her, but resolved to do better for her Heavenly Father. Hear why Sheila ended up in a psychiatric hospital at age 34, and how Jesus helped her see her truth worth as His child.
