Embracing Your Gifts with Sally Lloyd-Jones
About this Episode
Episode Summary
We’ve all compared ourselves to others. “Why aren’t I more like her?” “Why can’t I be good at that?” On this episode of God Hears Her, Sally Lloyd-Jones challenges that way of thinking. She shares with Eryn and Elisa the way that God changed her own view of herself and used the talents He specifically made in her for His glory.
