Kelly
It is an understatement to say that the times we are living in are hard. The difficulties we are experiencing can be like noise in our lives keeping us from joy and peace. How can we rise above all the chaos? On this podcast we make a commonly made proposition that the answer to this, and really everything we face in this world, is God and our relationship with Him. We don’t stop there though. We ask our listeners to go on a journey with us as we make the case for God starting at square one; who is God?
