This episode dives deep into two transformative keys for victorious Christian living: “Try out” and “Trace back.” Listeners are encouraged not only to trust and treasure scripture, but to actively “try out” God’s promises in daily life—putting faith into action even in the hardest circumstances. Through powerful stories from Corrie Ten Boom’s life, we see how testing God’s word leads to unexpected blessings, and how “tracing back” every experience—joyful or painful—to Christ brings deeper fellowship with Him. The episode challenges us to see every trial as an opportunity to encounter Jesus, and to let our lives be living testimonies of His faithfulness.
