Dawn and Steve in the Morning

Hour 1: All Who Are Weary

Start your day with Dawn and Steve in the Morning and listen to a devotional from Blackaby Ministries International about following I AM as we carry out the assignments he has for us.

And God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM." And He said, "Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.'"   Exodus 3:14

In addition, Sarah J. Hauser has some encouragement for those who are bone-weary-tired. Listen and learn more about her book All Who Are Weary: Finding Rest By Letting Go of the Burdens You Were Never Meant to Carry.

She loves cooking but rarely follows a recipe exactly, and you can almost always find her with a cup of coffee in hand. Sarah completed her B.A. and M.A. at Wheaton College. She's a member of the Redbud Writers Guild and has written for Coffee + Crumbs, Risen Motherhood, The Rabbit Room, The Gospel Coalition, (in)courage, and more.
