I move into my apartment at Reformation Bible College one week from today. I wanted to share my thoughts and God's work in my life to prepare me for this big step ahead. I talk about the anxiety-killing, excitement-bringing work of God in my life, as well as the lingering anxiety that remains. I hope it is some sort of encouragement to you!

I wrote this short article for the sole purpose of giving God the glory for something He did in my life. I am so incredibly overwhelmed and grateful to Him for such a good gift, and I feel I must share it. This is an answer to dozens, if not hundreds, of times of me praying to God, on my knees, for the provision of a car. Hear the full story in this episode!

Understand this; my life of being in Christ means I sacrifice myself daily. By His sovereign grace, which I don’t deserve, my entire life is for Him. My life is no longer my own. I mean every word of that. My existence has never been up to my own will, but now I understand that. I can see it.

In this episode, we are going to look at some common defenses of abortion that I have seen professing Christians use and see how the Bible responds to them. This is a very serious topic that is dear to my heart so I am going to try to handle it with the seriousness I think it deserves.
