If you’ve ever struggled to get freedom from sin in your life you realize what a frustrating experience it can be. No matter how hard you try to “do better”, you can’t seem to get away from yourself long enough to see lasting change. You fall in sin, followed by feeling guilty and condemned, wondering if God still loves you. After a while, you brush yourself off and recommit to “doing better this time”! Yet, after a little while, temptation gets the best of you and you fall again, repeating this frustrating cycle. Can you relate to this? I’m sure you can… we all can! But this is not how God intended for you to live your life… actually, it’s a poor substitute for the life of victory Jesus promised to give you! Let me explain…
How Choosing Faith Over Facts Fills You With New Hope!
Have you ever looked at the facts of your situation and come to the conclusion there was no way out, there was nothing you could do? Most likely you have, and it’s no fun.

You can overcome anxiety and discover the abundant life Jesus promised you.
