Today I take a few calls, talk all about the amazing experience of my first concert at the Ryman Auditorium and about how excited I am for my new book The God Who Stays to release on 9/6!!!

Also, I’m going to share a devotion to remind us that while God has us on His mind, there’s one thing about us He doesn’t have on His mind. Our past mistakes! That’s good news! Let’s go to the Story House!

CALL (601) 301-2208 TO SHARE YOUR BRIEF STORY AND/OR QUESTION.*

*The shorter your message the more likely you’ll be on the show.
