What do you do when life doesn't go the way you hoped?

This week on ThisIsKingdom, Talon, TJ, Grace, and Hollis discuss President Emily Belle Freeman's General Conference message, "Best Days and Worst Days." Together they explore how Jesus Christ meets us in both our highest highs and our lowest lows—and why our response to life's hardest moments can shape who we become.

From personal stories of moving across the country, humanitarian experiences, and unexpected trials, to powerful reminders that the morning comes and the shadows flee away, this conversation is for anyone who feels like they're walking through one of life's difficult seasons.

No matter what you're facing today, there is hope. Christ doesn't waste our hardest days—He uses them to draw us closer to Him.

Best Days and Worst Days — President Emily Belle Freeman

💬 Challenge of the Week:
When life gets hard, choose to turn toward God instead of away from Him. Ask Him what He wants to teach you through your current season, and trust that He can turn even your worst days into something meaningful.
