You Start Today With Dr. Lee Warren | Weekly Prescriptions To Become Healthier, Feel Better, And Be Happier.

You can’t wait for hope to happen.  You can make it happen.  Hope is a verb: there’s two consistent things about biblical examples of when people feel hopeless, and what they do next, that are important to flesh out: Any time we’re faced with a seemingly hopeless situation, there’s movement and there’s memory.
