How does the Proverbs 31 woman "laugh without fear of the future?" I dive into this and more on today's episode of Hope Unyielding. We'll talk about:

• How fearing God helps us stop fearing the future
• How reflecting on God's faithfulness in the past helps you reject the lie that God isn't good
• My crazy story of heading to Russia at age 12
• How laughing can be a holy act of trust and surrender

The song I listened to on the Russian night bus: "Your Love Will Get Me There."

In this transparent and powerful conversation, author and speaker Stacee Goetzinger speaks candidly about her journey battling an eating disorder that started in her preteen years and eventually led to emergency inpatient treatment, where she had to fight for her life with everything she had.

Whether you are battling an eating disorder, love someone who is, or simply want to learn more, this episode provides hope, practical encouragement, and a powerful testimony of God's faithfulness, kindness and strength in our darkest struggles, whatever they may be.
