"The deepest longing in our hearts, that maybe we don't even identify all the time, is that we want him. We want him...himself."

— Natalie Abbott

Today's episode: Natalie Abbott and Vera Schmitz talk about what the courage that comes from God's constant presence. They talk through the promise in Deuteronomy 31:8 that God goes before his people, both leading them and giving them the thing they most need: himself. You'll be encouraged to step out in faith wherever God is taking you, knowing that he not only goes before you, he goes with you.

This month's memory verse: "The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." — Deuteronomy 31:8
