Life often sends hard things our way: illness, financial struggles, broken relationships, and so many kinds of loss. Sometimes we can’t imagine a way forward. So how do we keep going when everything is going wrong? Rachel Wojo is on the show today, sharing how hope rises to greet us when we find the strength to take One. More. Step.

In her book One More Step, she transparently shares her pain and empathizes with yours, then points you to the path of God’s Word, where you’ll find hope to carry you forward.
No matter the circumstances you face, through this episode, you’ll learn to:

Join us to find the courage to keep going, one step at a time.
