Summary
How should we respond when we struggle? In today’s episode, Our Calling staff member Jad Dagher and Emma Dotter unpack Psalm 28 and how David handles despair by turning to the Lord as His Rock and saving Refuge. Instead of being left to handle things on our own, we have a good God who can handle our circumstances and anything we face. We can rejoice in Him and trust that He will be our solid fortress in times of uncertainty.

| 0:32.2 | up to today? Yeah. So I was born and raised in Lebanon, the Middle East. I often say the Middle East because |
