We’re all just trying to keep it together, hoping to find some sense of safety in our chaotic world. Bestselling author Dr. Angie Smith brings her signature humor, practical application, biblical teaching, and PhD in psychology to help us.
The world will never tell us that we are enough. But you can take a deep breath, loosen your grip, and trust Jesus to be in the water with you.
Join us this hour as Dr. Michael New reviews the overwhelmingly positive impact the Hyde Amendment has had on the pro-life movements for the last 50 years and why it must never be removed. Then, Lila Rose will encourage us to stay the course and fight the good fight in defending life. Join us for encouraging conversation.
