## Resource

Do you ever feel stuck in despair, wondering if God is still near? In this conversation, Jon Moffitt, Justin Perdue, and Chad Bird discuss how Christ meets us in our darkest moments with real comfort and sustaining grace. Recorded live at 1517’s Here We Still Stand 2025 Conference in San Diego, we explore how the Psalms, the church, and the gospel itself anchor us when life feels overwhelming. This conversation reminds weary sinners that our hope is not in ourselves but in Christ alone. CHECK OUT CHAD BIRD JOIN THE THEOCAST COMMUNITY!
