Episode Synopsis

There are many reasons we can find ourselves sinking into the valley of desperation... grief, worry, sickness, sin, or shame.

When we are in our lowest moments, we too can reach out to the Shepherd who hears us. Seeking God’s will means surrendering our situation to Him and allowing Him to mold and change us through it - no matter the outcome. In the valley of desperation, will you call out to your Lord and trust Him to lead you through?
