You will learn that God’s presence and promise-keeping nature, not human strength, are what make courage possible as you cultivate a resilient, unshakable faith one step at a time.

Wie haben die Ukraine, die USA, die NATO und Russland die Eskalations-Spirale angetrieben? Es geht nicht darum, wer "gut" oder "böse" ist, wer "gewinnt" oder "verliert".
