Summary
Singer, songwriter & author Matthew West joins Blake to talk about the power of our stories and how nobody can see the world through the eyes, the mind & the heart that God gave you. His book helps us reconnect the Biblical truth of Immanuel – “God with us” – a personal Savior who never leaves our side and who always answers when we cry out for help. Listen in as they talk about what it looks like to be willing for God to use the uniqueness of your story, the good, the bad & the broken, in a way that only He could.
