Today’s Scripture is: Psalm 118

There are seasons in life when we are simply trying to get through.

Holding it together.

Managing what’s hard.

Surviving.

And then there comes a moment when something begins to shift.

In this episode, Dr. Alison reflects on what it means to relearn joy after survival—and how joy can return, gently and gradually, as we begin to feel safe again.
