Snippet from the Show
“Notice the ravens: they do not sow or reap; they have neither storehouse nor barn, yet God feeds them. How much more important are you than birds!”
Luke 12:24

My new book, Whisper: Finding God in the Everyday, is available to order!

Worry is a temptation that no person seems to be free from. However, it is a temptation that we can learn to combat. Melissa Overmyer explains how she has found the recipe for the antidote to worry in Scripture. Sharing personal experiences and the fruit of her studies, Melissa offers spiritual insight and practical advice to help anyone live a life without worry.

Listener Feedback (32:36)

At the end of today’s show, I respond to an email from listener Mary who shares that she listened to Standing at the Foot of the Cross (with Laura Phelps) just before experiencing a similar tragic shooting incident at her daughter’s school. Laura’s story helped to prepare her for her own harrowing experience and to turn to prayer in her moment of need. Thanks be to God!
