“We don’t see things as they are, we see things as we are.” Today we’re revisiting a conversation on the life-changing impact of perspective. Cara and Dot unpack how seeing life through God’s light can transform us emotionally, spiritually, and even physically. As we step into a new school year and transition from summer to fall, this episode offers fresh encouragement for bringing light into dark places.

But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!”
