Ricky: Why are you passionate about teaching others about a biblical worldview?

Nathan: Viewing everything in relation…

This story is from a girl out in Texas and it’s about how she shared Jesus with someone even when she felt exhausted. A great reminder that no matter how we feel, God never rests or is weary.
