🌊 Episode 1: Finding Your Way Around
đź“– Summary
In this opening episode, Danny shares the story of his and his wife’s very first cruise—a trip filled with excitement, confusion, and eventually discovery. Just like it took time to learn their way around the ship, life often feels overwhelming when stepping into a new season. Through Proverbs 3:5-6, Danny reminds listeners that God promises to guide our steps even when the path is unclear. Reflection and practical steps encourage us to trust God in unfamiliar seasons, rely on His Word, and celebrate the small ways He leads us day by day.
