This is the introduction to my podcast “When I am WEAK” where I explain what this podcast is about and the purpose of this podcast. “When I am WEAK” is a podcast based on 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” My prayer is that through listening to this Podcast, you will be encouraged to seek Christ for strength and peace in your life despite the difficulties that you face. My name is Bethany Slom, Thank you for listening and have a blessed week!!
