One of the most remarkable things about Elijah's life was the end-he didn't die. God took him to up heaven in a whirlwind. Elijah knew what was coming, but until that moment, he went about his work. He ministered, he served. He showed us how to face our final days with faith. Elijah's exit from this world reminds us that God oversees every aspect of our lives, including the end. Those who live on the promises on the God die with unshakeable hope in the life to come.

Phil Wickham catches up with Levi and Jennie fresh off his Song of the Saints tour - the one where God stopped him in his tracks the night before opening night with one question: are you really letting me be Lord of your life?

Today on the podcast I'm introducing you to Leah from Arizona, an amazing single woman whose life has taken an unexpected turn as a health and wellness influencer over the past few years. Leah went on a health journey of losing over 200lbs naturally and started sharing about her health journey on social media - which quickly gained attention. She's in a season of stepping into all the things God has for her - and hopes and prays that this journey will include a husband one day as well. We also spent some time talking through her "not my husband list" - the list of things that she considers a major turn off in the world of online dating...she wants to know if her list is reasonable, or unreasonable! It's important for us to know our NEEDS vs our PREFERENCES when it comes to dating, and this conversation will challenge you to take a second look at your list as well. You're going to love this conversation as well as Leah Mancuso, so reach out to her and make a connection! Email: leahhopehealth@gmail.com
