"When You're Weary and Worn Down" With E...

The Proverbs 31 Ministries Podcast
About this episode

How can life be so full yet sometimes feel so empty at the same time? It could be we're missing out on where true fullness comes from.

In this episode, join us for a conversation with singer-songwriter and author Ellie Holcomb as she walks us through Psalm 119. She shares her personal journey of memorizing Scripture and the transformative power it has had in her life and offers practical tips for you to do the same. While we may strive for a perfect life, true fullness comes from experiencing God's presence and knowing Him intimately.
