"It's Time To Get Honest With God" With ...

The Proverbs 31 Ministries Podcast
About this episode

I just can't keep doing this!

If you have ever found yourself feeling this way, we've been there. That's why we have our friend Jennifer Dukes Lee on this episode talk about how crucial it is to be honest with God during difficult seasons of life. Through her own experiences of relying on God through challenging times, Jennifer emphasizes the need for both vulnerability and community. Learn about the power of lament and how it can help us communicate with God in a more authentic way, and consider this your permission not to have it all together.
