And if your world feels messy, overwhelming, or uncertain… this episode is a reminder that hope has already come for you.We unpack powerful moments from the show — listener stories, Christmas memories, parenting reflections, and a deeply moving look at Daniel’s impossible situation in the lion’s den and what it means for your situation right now.
