Are You on the Right Path? (And How Would You Know?) with Elizabeth Woodson

Am I on the right path? It’s a question many of us ask—but few know how to answer. Rebecca sits down with Bible teacher and author Elizabeth Woodson to explore how our lives are quietly shaped by culture—and how the gospel offers a better way. Elizabeth shares insights from her book Habits of Resistance, helping us see how our desires for joy, peace, identity, and purpose can either pull us toward God or away from Him.
