~42 Weeks~: Recent Episodes
Tori Wise Winters~McCollum
"42 Weeks," is a compilatory and conversational Devotional, created and inspired by the aid of the Holy Spirit to counsel and comfort the soul. The concept for the title is distinctively described in the Preface of the Podcast. Each day will commence with a Scripture passage, referable verses when applicable, and culminate with prayer, but also be illuminated with pragmatic illustrations to further encourage you on this side of God's Vineyard. It is my prayer that it will minister to your heart, motivate your hilarity, and maintain your hustle for the advancement of Kingdom Building.
