Choosing Contentment

There’s always something to pull our hearts away from trusting in God’s goodness. We can become bogged down in our circumstances, forgetting what true contentment looks like and where it comes from—a heart anchored in God. In this episode, Courtney Doctor and Melissa Kruger talk with Elizabeth Woodson about contentment, its enemies, and how Scripture gives us the tools to trust God in hard seasons. P.S.
