Noah & Levi
Is Bible memory important? What are the benefits of it? We discuss that here with our good friend, Drew.
Now that summer is wrapping up we wanted to give it a review and talk about some things we look forward to in the coming season.
Our friend, Karl Hoecke, is a young Christian man from South Carolina and has Down syndrome. He is an encouragement to everyone he meets, but more than that, he points everyone toward Christ. He urges people to not abort babies, specifically those diagnosed with Down syndrome. In this episode, Karl identifies and addresses a few false facts often told to mothers of unborn babies diagnosed with Down syndrome. He tells his personal story. He encourages us. And he points us toward Christ. We truly hope and pray this episode will be a blessing to you.
