Bonus Podcast Episode – Bridging the Gap

Show Notes

In this episode, Khara Seeley joins Sebra Ferrell for the first ever bonus episode of the Raising Godly Women podcast. Khara shares her testimony of a recent promise God fulfilled in her life and the challenges she went through while waiting. We hope her testimony encourages you on your journey!

NOTE: During this episode, the Hebrew words “Modeh Ani” are incorrectly pronounced. Here is a link to the correct pronunciation: https://www.howtopronounce.com/modeh-ani. This phrase comes from the document “Elul: 29 Days of Reflection” (p.15). The link to this document is in the resources. In recent years, Sebra has been learning more about the Jewish roots of the Christian faith. Her journey led her to these reflections, which she completed as a way to examine herself, with the help of the Holy Spirit, for growth opportunities in her relationship with God and others.
