That's Just What I NeededThat's Just What I Needed Podcast
If you’ve ever had a conversation where you’ve walked away thinking, “Wow! That was just what I needed”, you know you felt encouraged, learned a thing…If you’re walking through something heavy right now—grief, disappointment, or just a season that feels hard—this conversation is for you.
Today, I’m talking with Kirby Kelly about what it really looks like to hold onto hope when life doesn’t make sense. We dive into the power of lament, why your emotions matter to God, and how to anchor your hope in something deeper than your circumstances. Kirby shares her personal story and gives us practical ways to shift our perspective and trust God in the middle of it all. If you need encouragement today, this one is for you!
And remember, I'd love to connect more on Instagram, where you'll find me at @donnaajones. And don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss a single episode!
