Many believers live in the gap between current circumstances and their future hopes and dreams. We long for a significant life, yet struggle to see the evidence of our future hopes in our daily lives. It’s in this liminal space that our souls take a beating. Some souls become bruised by cynicism, negativity, and disappointment. Others thrive, growing in equal parts contentment and hope.
For those who are ready to live with purpose today instead of waiting for an elusive “someday,”Resilient Soulis a call to follow the Good Shepherd into the future and experience this stunning promise.
