Surrendering Like Sarah
Surrendering to God's calling for life can be hard to do, especially as the wife of a medical student, resident, fellow, or attending. Sarah's example of surrender in Genesis 12 shows how fruitful our lives can be when we choose to let go and obey God's call. Join us as we interview women in medical marriages striving to surrender like Sarah. We are SO glad you're here!
