How do you stay rooted in faith when life gives you reasons to worry? In this episode of HomeWord, Dr. Jim Burns explores Colossians 4:2 and its invitation to deepen our prayer lives, pay attention to God’s work, and cultivate gratitude—even in difficult seasons. Drawing from his own journey with cancer and an inspiring conversation with Joni Eareckson Tada, Jim reflects on what it means to trust God when circumstances don’t change. He encourages us to slow down, listen for God’s direction, and recognize that thankfulness can coexist with pain. If you’re facing uncertainty or longing for a deeper connection with God, this conversation offers encouragement to grow deep roots that will sustain you through life’s challenges.
