Give God the Credit
In this episode of the Way to Go Podcast, we reflect on the power of acknowledgment—giving God the credit for the blessings in our lives. Whether it’s spiritual growth, financial provision, or the people around us, every good thing comes from the Lord. With verses like Psalm 16:2 and James 1:17, we’re reminded that apart from Him, we have no good thing. Don’t let pride or forgetfulness steal the praise God deserves. Let’s stop and recognize His faithfulness in every part of our story.
God’s Grace, Global Impact

Hear how God used unexpected moments, faithful people, and a radical calling to take him from brokenness to boldness in Christ.
