In today's episode we take a deep dive into surrender, singleness, satisfaction with guest Krystal Heath. When our story does not go in the way we planned, is our response to lean in to the feeling of doubt and question God's ability to know what is best for us? Or do we challenge our own thinking and resolve to wrestle with our Heavenly Father until we can reach a point of surrender? You will find all this and more in this episode of EFW.
