What does your life breathe out? What is your exhale? Plumb’s song, “Exhale,” inspires me to breathe in as much truth, love, and grace as I can hold so that truth, love, and grace are what I breathe out. This week, we explore the story of Rahab and discover what her life’s “exhale” was.
Rahab’s confession was a declaration of her faith in God. What is your confession? Use this week’s free resource to guide you!
