Honesty with God with Jess Ray

Today Lauren Bowerman is chatting with singer-songwriter Jess Ray about how God uses the difficulties of life and even our doubts to invite us closer to him. This conversation is deeply honest and rich with hope, and we pray that amidst the difficult seasons, doubts, or questions, you maintain it meets you in your story, nudges you to honestly seek the Lord, and presses you closer to the God who comes near to us in Jesus.
