## Resource

Hey guys! We're back this week with a fresh episode and Toni Collier is back on In Totality to share about season 2 of her Docuseries, Unshakeable Moxie! If you haven't seen season 1, it's a great time to catch up and tune into the series, co-hosted by Moriah Smallbobe, where these two women share the beauty of other women’s stories around the world, and how true hope is not just believing things will get better, but placing our hope fully in Jesus. You guys know whenever Toni is here we have a great time with great laughs. In this episode, we talk about holding on to joy in the middle of grief, what it looks like to keep showing up when life feels heavy, and how God comforts us through our suffering and never asks us to carry it alone.  Toni shares what this season has taught her about hope, endurance, healing, and trusting God when the outcome is still unclear. I pray this episode reminds you that you do not have to be perfect to be faithful. Keep showing up. God is with you!
