It’s easy to feel stressed, overwhelmed, and anxious when we focus on the turmoil in the world (or our own lives). However, there is hope! My guest on the podcast today, Brant Hansen, reminds us that we truly can have peace and abiding joy – no matter our circumstances – if Jesus is the center of our lives. We’ll also discuss Brant’s new book, Life is Hard, God is Good, Let’s Dance.
