Gentle Streams: Recent Episodes
Bob Lopez
Regaining my voice after a vocal cord paralysis diagnosis made me realize that my voice is a gift meant for ministry so I created this podcast.
Here I would like to share my voice recordings of prayers, reflections, poems and book excerpts that I hope will allow you to hear God's gentle voice and refresh you like a gentle stream refreshes those who are thirsty.
