Page 242 of the unfolding is the story of Ryan Stevenson.

I trusted the Lord with everything in me, but I felt like two people half the time because

Hi, this is Meredith Foster. Ryan Stevenson is a Dev Award winning artist known for powerful songs like I of the Storm,

But there was another voice, quieter, but constant, the voice of God, reminding him that

he was beloved and chosen and created on purpose for a purpose.

In this conversation, Ryan talks about what it means to hold on to God's truth in the face of
