24-Carat Conversations Devotional: Emerging as Pure Gold in the Midst of our Circumstances

Our lives will encounter opposition, but just like the fire that gold must endure, when we endure through our trials we can be assured that we will emerge as pure gold.

Rhonda grew up as a pastor's kid who had expectations of how life should be. In 2002 her daughter Tiana passed away from a rare condition, and that is when she discovered that she had to find her own faith. It was during that traumatic season and other seasons in her life that she found that enduring through pain and struggles refines us. We can choose to be defeated by our current life situations, or we can choose to grow and trust that God is working in the midst. This devotional will encourage and inspire you to keep going in the midst of your circumstances.

Rhonda is an author, career development coach, worship leader, founder of the Tiana Project, and podcast co-host of 24 Carat Conversations with Phylis and Rhonda and Recovering PK Podcast with Jeff Martinez. Rhonda's mission is to help others find their full potential in Christ by helping them personally and professionally. With over twenty-six years of business experience, she believes that our personal and professional life are very closely connected. The more we can examine the things we have endured in life personally, the more we can grow professionally. She's been married for over twenty-five years and has three daughters.
