When You Feel Weak w/Emily Jensen

THE DAILY GRACE CO.
About this episode

Do you feel weak? Do you struggle to admit your weaknesses? As Christians, seeing our weaknesses can actually be a good thing because it pushes us to rely on the Lord for His strength.

Emily Jensen joined us for this thought provoking conversation! Emily is the co-founder and content director of Risen Motherhood, and author of the new book, “He is Strong.” In it, Emily shares relatable stories about her own feelings of weakness and points you to the gospel for wisdom, hope, and comfort.
