The Extra Mile: Recent Episodes
Four Mile Run Christian Church
From Four Mile Run Christian Church in Youngstown, Ohio. The aim of this show is to discuss things that are relevant to everyday life. That means, sometimes we will talk about the message you hear on Sunday morning at Four Mile Run Christian Church. Sometimes, we’ll talk about stories in the news or from people’s everyday life. Sometimes, we’ll discuss current events and how they relate to the church. Sometimes we’ll dive into a difficult passage of Scripture and try to bring a little clarity to it or shine a new light on something you might not have thought of before. Whatever we discuss on this show, the goal is always going to be the same. We want you to listen or watch this show and feel encouraged to make it through the week. We want you to feel refreshed and reminded that we all serve a God that loved us enough to send His only Son, Jesus to this earth to pay the price for our sins by dying on a cross and conquering death once and for all by rising from the grave three days later.
