240: Defeating the Darkness By Rediscovering Jesus' Perspective with Alan Wright

How can we find hope in the darkness and get a new perspective in hard times? Listen to this conversation I had with Pastor Alan Wright about learning to see our life through Jesus’ perspective, what masks our ability to see God’s take on a situation, and why it is important to have Jesus as our tour guide. Although it might feel impossible to see the light during these moments or seasons of life, let’s talk about how walking with Jesus to renew your mind in hard times can restore our hope and confidence through everyday trials.
