Trusting God: Surrendering to and Relying on the One who is Trustworthy

Trusting God is essential in our walk with the Lord. In this episode I share some of what the Lord has been teaching me in this area. I also share the poem "Trust On" by Fanny Crosby, which has been a huge consolation in this season of our life. May you be encouraged to continue trusting our good and gracious God.

Hope for Those Burdened by Shame with Sara Ghormley

Do you feel unworthy? Not good enough? Like you'll never measure up? Shame is a heavy burden that we can't break out from under on our own. But there is hope and good news! Jesus Christ IS powerful enough to free us and to give us a new identity. Listen in as Sara Ghormley helps us understand what shame is and offers hope for all who suffer under its weight. Sara is a certified biblical counselor with ACBC and sits on the leadership council of the Albuquerque One-to-One Biblical Counseling Training Center (www.centercitychurch.org/biblical-counseling/training-center). Her greatest joys in ministry come from walking along fellow sisters and sharing the comfort that she herself has received in Christ. Her own story began with years of struggling with clinical depression and shame until biblical counselors came alongside her and taught her how the love and power of Christ could lead her into true freedom.

Wellness Through Weakness

Is there anything good about weakness? Can you say, along with Paul, that you are content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities (2 Corinthians 12:10)? We are called to humility; that is where we receive God's grace. So let's renew our minds regarding greatness and weakness.
