This is not a fragile hope, but a secure and lasting peace.

At six years old, Lisa Whittle made that decision. Ever since then, she’s been living out her faith by putting Jesus first every single morning. Join hosts Eryn Eddy Adkins and Vivian Mabuni for this inspiring God Hears Her conversations as they gain insight from Lisa about how to keep Jesus above everything else.
