HAPPY NEW YEAR! Thank you so much for coming back to the Purpose Through Pain Podcast this year! I'm so excited about what this year has in store!! From here on out, new episodes will be airing every Friday instead of every Wednesday for no reason other than it just felt like the right thing to do!

Today we're talking about acceptance and accepting things as God has laid them out in your life instead of living in denial. We want to break those shackles and live in the truly free life He has called us to live!

So join me on this week's episode and please share this with a friend so we can get the message out there!

Scripture:

• Romans 8:28
• John 16:33
• John 9:3

And, remember that your pain isn't pointless and God's got a beautiful purpose all planned out just for YOU.

For the final episode of 2022, I wanted to share my testimony and let you know how Jesus radically changed my life.

This episode is also a timely release because the day after this is published marks 7 years since Jesus came into my life! Hallelujah!

Thank you so much for supporting my podcast this year and I hope you continue to as we take it into a new year!

Mentioned Scripture:

• James 2:19
• Ephesians 2:10
