Will you choose to seek the light?
Our lives are shaped by the choices we make. For Christians, the biggest is following Jesus, but every day brings another decision: when life gets hard, will we turn towards God or drift away?

She joined Lydia to share remarkable stories of hope, healing and finding God in life's darkest moments.
