Do you wonder about the purpose of the journey you are on?
Are you struggling to understand why you feel the way that you do?
Do you feel like you are stuck in a wilderness, with no clear way out?
On the latest episode of the More to Be Podcast, we hear from writer and speaker Barb Roose and chat about walking with Jesus, surrendering in the struggle, and finding healing as well as direction through connection with Jesus and with others.
As we reflect on the state of our world during a global pandemic, we consider the challenge to be still and confident in Jesus and in His purpose for us. Barb gives listeners further insight into her life story and what the Lord has taught her about surrendering her identity to Him, particularly through her latest Bible Study, Surrendered: Letting Go and Living for Jesus.
