Returning to the show is a truly JOYFILLED (no pun intended) guest - my real life friend, Rachel Awtrey. In this episode, we laugh and shed real tears together as we talk about what joy looks like despite our circumstances. We get real and talk about what to do when we don't really like our lives, but we know that God promises good things for us. How do we hold on and see the beauty right where we are? ⁠If you loved this conversation, you'll love Rachel's new book.
