She shares about the wonder of receiving instead of faking our faith or trying to earn God's favor. You won't want to miss this episode!

"Can I say with as much confidence as I'd be able to say at the end of [my hardship], when I get to see the positive outcome...that 'in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who've been called according to his purpose. What man intends for evil, God intends for good. And so today, I will walk with him?'"
