As we wrap up our series on perspective, Dot and Cara share what it means to walk ‘in the light of the living.’ This episode invites us to reflect on how shifting our perspective can reveal the light of Jesus, even when darkness is all around. From practical steps to change your focus, to the importance of surrounding yourself with people who help you see the light, Dot reminds us that living in the light is about Jesus, not our circumstances. Grab your Bible and a pen and settle in with us as we learn to live in the light today!
