Viral Jesus

On Gaining Self-Confidence

How can we drink from the well of living water when it feels like we’re in a desert?

Kicking off this week’s episode, Heather sits down with Scarlett Longstreet to talk about whether or not we should be using filters on our photos. Are they hurting us? Are they making us insecure? Make sure to let us know your thoughts by typing in ViralJesusPod on Instagram or Twitter and using #Blessed.

Today is the pre-game show for our new pod-class series on “Gaining Self-Confidence.” Heather sits down to have a heart to heart with you, the listener, about the reality of life right now. It feels like everyone is waiting for a miracle, and it can be difficult to believe that there is a plan, when you can’t see it. How can we drink from the well of living water even when it feels like we are in a desert? Heather says you have to dig.
