Summary

Jonathan and Melissa sit down for a conversation about the importance of building strong foundations with Jesus in order to withstand the inevitable storms of life. They each share personal stories from their lives as well as keys, practices, and questions that have helped them stay with God when life is hard. Whether your foundations are new, worn down, or cracked and broken, we hope this conversation inspires you to let the Master Builder come and do what only He can do: Secure, strengthen, and heal the support system of your life.This episode was inspired by the latest book release from the Cageless Birds: FOUNDATIONS 01.

0:00.0	How do you stay with God when things are so hard?
0:03.9	I don't know where else would I go.
0:06.5	It's going to be hard regardless.
0:09.0	He's the safest, most consistent thing in my life.
