Verse of the Day emails delivered
"I can't tell you what it meant to have a K-LOVE pastor actually listen to me while I poured out everything I'd been carrying—living out of my van, the hospital stays, the fear, the lies in my head, and all the ways I felt surrounded by evil. He answered my questions, prayed with me, and helped me surrender my life to Christ right there. When we finished praying, I told him I felt like all the evil that had been tormenting me was gone. God used that conversation—with a K-LOVE pastor who took the time to care—to completely change my life."
