Episode 72: Who Am I That God Would Use Me?

Got a question about today’s episode or something else you’d like to hear us talk about on the show? Let us know! 

When God chooses to work through us, it’s not a reflection of how great we are, but rather how good and powerful He is. In this episode, Dot and Cara talk about the example David set for us when he prayed to God with humility and gratitude. They discuss the importance of embracing whatever calling God has given you — even if it feels small or insignificant — and Dot shares a story about the lessons she’s learned from watching cruise ships and fishing boats on the ocean.
