Brings me peace
Thank you for these wonderful podcasts and welcome back, Nathan. I appreciated your introduction at the beginning. You beautifully put into words some of the same difficult struggles I have been going through the last couple of years. It brought me peace to identify the emotions and realize that this is part of life and God can use it for my good.
