Congratulations. Your gift of a new day is here. Ready to live it big. You're listening to the Big Life Devotional podcast. Now, here's Pamela to get you fired up for all God has available for you today.

Well, good morning, beautiful. Welcome to a brand new day of life. Happy Friday, my friends. I am

seriously thrilled that you pressed play today. Oh my gosh, I'm so glad you're listening.
