Episode 83: No Matter Your Past, There is Always Hope

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

Jesus knew that Peter would deny him, but He still chose Peter to build His church. In this episode, Dot and Cara talk about what it means to trust that God can still use us no matter what we’ve done in the past. They share stories from Scripture and from their own lives that demonstrate how God can shape our experiences into the preparation we need to move forward or into a story that can help others. Grab a cup of coffee and listen along.
