519 // Open Hands to God's Plans: Friendship, Faith, And Letting God Lead (Bible Study and Devotional)

Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today’s episode is a powerful reminder that God’s comfort isn’t just something we receive in the highs—it’s something we lean on in the lows. We’re continuing our scripture study in 2 Corinthians 1:3–7 and talking about what it truly means to walk with God through suffering, trials, and the unexpected. Spoiler: your trials are not wasted—they carry generational impact and deep spiritual purpose.

Plus, we’re diving into Day 4 of our devotional on Friendship, exploring the concept of “The Close and the Crowds.” Jesus had compassion for the masses but also invested deeply in a small group of disciples. What does that balance look like for us today? And how do we move past labels like “introvert” or “extrovert” and simply ask God, “Who do You need me to be?” This episode is a loving nudge to open your hands, trust God’s plans, and believe—no matter what you’re facing—you’re going to make it. No doubt about it.
