Welcome to Episode 11 of Coram Deo, which is Latin for 'in the presence of God'. We hope this blesses you and centers you on what it looks like to practice thankfulness, even in the hard times.

Life is full of hard choices, confusing relationships, and spiritual questions — and we don't have to navigate any of it alone.
