Sn. 3|Ep. 11: Saying “Yes” to God’s Plans (part 2 with Bella Wellborn)
On part two of this episode, we finish our conversation with Bella Wellborn, TCK from Argentina.
Join our conversation as we talk about vulnerability in friendships, God redeeming our weaknesses, and the joy in trusting and following Jesus. Bella shares from her own experiences of learning to trust God even when it feels hard, and how every time He proves to be worthy of our trust. You’ll hear personal stories and incredible testimonies of what God can do on the other side of our “yes.”
