What would you do if the person who hurt you was finally at your mercy? In 1 Samuel 24, David had the perfect opportunity to take revenge against King Saul, the very man who had been hunting him. Yet David chose mercy, restraint, and reverence for God. His story reminds us that we don't have to repay evil with evil, and that sometimes our greatest victory is refusing to let someone else's actions change the person God has called us to be. Join me as we reflect on David's powerful example of compassion, forgiveness, and trusting God with justice and our future.

What would you do if you had only 500 Tanzanian shillings, but the needs in your home added up to around 100,000? For Atu, the answer was simple: trust God and take the next step. In this first episode of Chronicles of Atu, I share a beautiful true encounter from a woman whose life has taught me so much about prayer, trust, and walking with God. She left home with just 500 TSh and before she could even finish her journey, unexpected provision began arriving from places she had stopped expecting. Come hear Atu's story and be reminded that when we seek God, pray about everything, and faithfully do what we can, we can leave room for Him to work in ways we never expected.

Sometimes life hurts us so deeply that we stop showing up. We shrink, we hide, and we become afraid to try again.

In this episode of MLT with Judy, let's talk about courage, movement, hope, and trusting God with what we cannot see.

Some weeks leave us with more questions than answers.

Then, through a simple conversation with a dear friend from South Africa whose name means hope, came a gentle reminder: don't forget hope.

And for the friends who inspired this episode, she continues to hope, pray and believe that they will come through their difficult season stronger.

As Judy continues her Bible journey through Deuteronomy, one passage stops her in her tracks.
