  SPEAKER_00: Hello and welcome.
• 0:18
  SPEAKER_00: I'm Sandra Elizabeth and today I'm excited to share something very special with you.
• 0:24
  SPEAKER_00: The release of my new book, Strong in Spirit.
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_00: What does it mean to be strong in spirit?
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_00: Does it mean you never feel discouraged, that you always know what to do, or that your faith never wavers when life becomes difficult?
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_00: We all have moments when we feel uncertain, weary, or even overwhelmed.
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_00: We can love God deeply and still have questions.
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_00: We can believe in His promises and still need courage to take our next step.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_00: Being strong in spirit doesn't mean we have everything figured out.
• 0:55
  SPEAKER_00: It simply means we keep allowing God to strengthen us as we grow.
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_00: That is the heart of this book.
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_00: Strong in Spirit explores identity, purpose, faith, courage, and character through stories from scripture and practical reflections.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_00: It speaks to the person who is waiting for something to change, the person finding their feet after a setback, and the person wondering whether there is still more ahead.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_00: Perhaps you recognize yourself in one of those places.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_00: You may have experienced disappointment, something you hoped would work out has ended differently, or perhaps you are entering a new season, and while there is excitement, there is also uncertainty.
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes we become so focused on what has happened around us that we overlook what God is developing within us.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_00: He may be teaching us patience in the waiting, giving us courage to speak, helping us release an old label, or shaping the character we will need for what comes next.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_00: That growth is not always visible to others, but it matters.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_00: So throughout this book, I invite you to consider your own journey with God.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_00: Your history has shaped your experience, but it does not have to limit your future.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: A difficult season does not mean your purpose has ended.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: There is still room to learn, to heal, to discover, and to become.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_00: The subtitle of the book is Taking One Step at a Time.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_00: It is a reminder that you don't need to see the whole road before you begin.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: Your next step may be a decision you have been putting off.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_00: It may be trusting God with something you cannot control.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_00: It may even be choosing to just begin again.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_00: You can take that step while growing.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_00: You can move forward while still asking questions.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_00: My hope today is that as you read Strong in Spirit, you will find encouragement to deepen your faith, to recognize what God is doing in your life, and to face the journey ahead with renewed courage.
