It&#8217;s easy to feel stressed, overwhelmed, and anxious when we focus on the turmoil in the world (or our own lives). Media and culture don&#8217;t help because they are constantly feeding us worrisome things. However, there is hope! My guest on the podcast today, <a href="https://branthansen.com/">Brant Hansen</a>, (links below) has an encouraging new book set to release in just two weeks: <a href="https://amzn.to/41vexbv">Life is Hard, God is Good, Let&#8217;s Dance</a>. Brant reminds us that we truly can have peace and abiding joy &#8211; no matter our circumstances &#8211; if Jesus is the center of our lives.
