This week on Worship Is My Weapon, Rita is joined by the amazing Hope Darst of The Belonging Co.

Hope opens up about her struggle with depression, anxiety, and the suicidal thoughts that riddled her life from age 12 to 19. She thought she'd found freedom in Christ until she hit 30 and was hit with a crisis of identity...

In that season, God started to untangle the roots of entitlement and pride that lingered in Hope's heart - showing her that the long road of obedience and saying 'yes' to God, even in the small things, leads to unimaginable freedom and transformation.
