Distractions can look amazing and yet discernment and perseverance are much needed when staying focused on the "call." Dawn and Steve in the Morning share a devotional from Blackaby Ministries International about staying focused on the assignments God has given you. 

Also this hour, authors Chuck and Ashley Elliott talk with us about loss. They have written the book I Used to Be__: How to Navigate Large and Small Losses in Life and Find Your Path Forward.  

Chuck and Ashley spend much of their time equipping people to build spiritual and relational success. Chuck, as a pastor, and Ashley, as a counselor, have devoted their lives to helping people fight negativity and leave a legacy. They earned master’s degrees in counseling and leadership. Chuck and Ashley live in Indiana with their three sons and enjoy spending time outside as a family.
