Just a heads up as we get started, today's program contains two brief mentions of suicide.

We know this is a sensitive topic for many, and we're committed to dealing with it biblically.

We just want you to be aware ahead of time so you can proceed accordingly.

Here's Nancy DeMoss Volgamuth.

Anyone can worship a God who makes everything turn out the way they hope it will.

Anyone can worship God when the sun is shining and they've got money in the bank and their

But the test of our worship, the test of our faith, the test of our surrender, the test of our heart is when

God takes some of that away. And then we find out, are we just paid lovers of God? Or do we love God

just for who he is? This is the Reviver Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamoo, author of Surrender, The Heart God Controls.

Most of us are old enough to have vivid memories about storms.

In 2005, Hurricane Katrina caused 1,392 deaths and an estimated $125 billion in damages.

Virginia. And it seems like every year we watch wildfires threatened forests, homes,

and our sense of security.

more than 100 lives in the summer of 2025, many of them innocent girls at a Christian summer

camp.

Nancy's beginning a series called Storm Shelter

about where you can turn when you're threatened.
