Do you know that you are a vessel to share the Good News?  Do you also know that God is everything we need and more?

Join Missy Eversole and her guest, Janica Pilcher, as they discuss how living boldly for Jesus impacts not only us but the people around us. 

In this episode, Missy and Janica share:

• How being a vessel to share the Good News of Jesus helped Janica step out of her comfort zone and live boldly for Him.

• How a journey of faith and her voice led Janica to voice acting and a narrator for the Abide Mediation app.

• How leaning on Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us that God is everything we need and more.

Matthew 5:14-16 (ESV) You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

Proverbs 3:5-6 (ESV) Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
