The Word of God will often be discussed/mentioned as we are seeking out the truth of God's word and applying it practically to how we should live out our lives in obedience to Him. Please have GRACE as we are learning! I encourage you to read the scripture on your own, read commentaries by trusted biblical teachers and listen to sermons from those who are trained to study the Bible. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
