No Less Useful to God In Our Weakness (A Conversation with Alia Joy)

The Complicated Heart Podcast with Sarah Mae

Show Notes

On today's podcast I'm talking with Alia Joy, author of the book Glorious Weakness: Discovering God in All We Lack. We talk about depression, abuse, weight, weakness, poverty, and more. Key Quote: "In the middle of that deep depression, when I was laying in bed for six weeks, I'm still beloved by God. I'm no less useful to the Kingdom of God in my weakness and sickness than I am if I was at a conference speaking to thousands of people or writing a book that tons of people read." -Alia Links: Get Alia's book by clicking HERE! ...
