Your Life Follows Your Focus (Part 2): Fix Your Eyes on Jesus In a world where everyone is competing for your attention, learning to focus may be one of the most important spiritual disciplines a disciple can develop. In this second episode in his Power of Focus series, Rob Skinner shares a powerful message from a recent sermon in Boston about why disciples of Jesus must intentionally direct their attention toward Christ. Philippians 2 calls believers to have the same mindset as Christ Jesus—a mindset marked by humility, sacrifice, and obedience. But the challenge is that the world constantly pulls our focus in other directions. Comparison. Success. Approval. Pleasure. Entertainment. Just like racehorses wear blinders to keep their eyes fixed on the track, disciples must decide where their attention will go. When racehorses look sideways, they slow down and lose the race. In the same way, when believers constantly compare themselves with others or chase distractions, they lose spiritual focus. The solution is simple but powerful: Fix your attention on Jesus. In this episode, Rob shares a practical spiritual habit called Christ-focused reading—spending intentional time in passages of Scripture that reveal the character and identity of Jesus. Passages like: • Philippians 2 – The humility of Christ • Colossians 1 – The supremacy of Christ • The Sermon on the Mount – The teachings of Christ By slowly reflecting on these passages and asking, "What does this reveal about Jesus?" disciples begin to absorb His character and imitate His example. Transformation doesn't happen by accident. It happens when we intentionally direct our attention toward Christ. Because in the end, your life truly follows your focus. Key Scriptures Philippians 2:5–11 "In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus…" Colossians 1:15–17 "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation…" Practical Challenge Try this simple practice this week: Spend time reading passages that focus directly on the character of Jesus. Slow down. Reflect on what the passage reveals about Him. Ask yourself: How can I imitate this today? Because discipleship is not about perfection. It's about direction and attention.

Have you ever felt like your current season—whether filled with pain or uncertainty—means the game is over? You'll discover how every season of life, from planting to uprooting, from weeping to dancing, is divinely appointed by God and holds purpose beyond what you can see. Through the lens of Ecclesiastes 3, you can expect to find hope that your limitations cannot hold back God's loving kindness, and that as long as you have breath, there's still time on the clock for God to work. You'll be invited to actively participate in seeing God's kingdom and glory in whatever season you're walking through right now.Passages in this message:Ecclesiastes 3:1-22Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content from The Story!TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP HERE:Thestorygr.com/connectJOIN US IN PERSON:The Story Church475 6 Mile Road NW, Comstock Park, MI 49321You can support the ministry happening at The Story at thestorygr.com/give#thestorychurch #comstockparkmi
This lecture unpacks Hebrews 6:1-6, clarifying it as a crucial warning against unbelief, not a passage suggesting true believers can lose salvation. The speaker highlights the epistle's consistent use of pronouns, distinguishing between "we/us" (believers pressing on to maturity) and "those/they/them" (individuals exposed to spiritual truth but lacking genuine faith, who ultimately fall away). Employing the "analogy of faith"—where Scripture interprets Scripture—the sermon argues that interpreting Hebrews 6 as a loss of salvation contradicts numerous biblical teachings on eternal life, divine preservation, and the perseverance of the saints. Passages from John 6 & 10, Romans 8, and Old Testament examples like Psalm 138 and Ezekiel's "new heart" doctrine affirm God's unwavering commitment to keep His people. The "enlightened," "tasted," and "partakers" who fall away are identified as those who never possessed saving faith, their rejection akin to the rich young ruler's unbelief. True believers, like David, may stumble but are marked by a regenerated heart that continually returns to confession and repentance. The warning serves to caution against an evil, unbelieving heart, encouraging assurance in God's immutable grace for those who genuinely trust in Christ alone.

Bound by chance and the intimacy of therapy, an old warrior and a fledgling psychiatrist test each other's true north. Miko, the precocious son of a Greek fisherman, has weathered an indecisive path to adulthood in medicine and psychiatry. . . or has he? Dormant in his soul is a muse for writing and a smoldering guilt of abandoning his father. His training trajectory finds him in Tulsa, USA, of all places, where a 2 a.m. hospital admission, the aging, drunk, and potentially violent Vietnam veteran AJ becomes the young physician's patient. A metaphysical quirk awaits them. Unwitting confidants in the quest to understand what each is missing, the two trade insights best borne from meeting the other where he is. AJ is a prisoner of the exhilarating echoes of a confusing war; Miko suppresses his own psychological turmoil while exposing that of others. A chance meeting of their wives leads to a bond kept hidden under norms of confidentiality. Each woman finds something of themselves in the other and the moxie to withstand battles in their own marriages, on their own terms. Why AJ was brought to the hospital by the police that night pits a sense of duty against self-destruction. Why was there but a single round in his Luger that night? In Passages, the author takes aim at our enigmatic humanity. Each of us is the hero in his or her own life, a contrast of magnificence and flaws, navigating the complexity of principles and barriers as best one can.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

357 – How do you explain God's wrath in the Bible?Have you ever read some of those passages in the Old Testament where the text basically says God told the Children of Israel to kill all the inhabitants of Canaan, or other enemies, including the women and children, even babies?But in the New Testament, Jesus brings a very different perspective to dealing with your enemies. Instead of killing them, or praying for God to kill them, Jesus says to love and bless your enemies.What's going on here? How can you reconcile the way God is described in the Old Testament with the way He's described in the New Testament?In this week's episode:The dichotomy between the Old and New Testaments view of GodYour concept of God will affect the way you deal with the idea of God's wrathThe Old Testament condones and encourages killing your enemiesJesus commands us to love our enemies Does God change His ways or did Jesus change the way see God?If you want to be more like Jesus, then you need to look at the Old Testament through the lens of Christ to have a clear idea of who God is and how He destroys evil.∞∞∞∞∞∞∞SHOW NOTES: For a full transcript of this episode and all the Bible quotes, go to thebiblespeakstoyou.com/357Previous episode mentioned: Episode 197: Quit Looking at God Through a Wall of Glass BricksText me your questions or comments.Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys journey back to one of the most dramatic chapters in Singapore’s wartime history. Joining us in the studio are Goh Chour Thong, Director (International & Museum Relations) at the National Heritage Board, and Jerome Lim, heritage veteran and guide for two of this year’s signature programmes. For the first time, Battle for Singapore 2026 invites the public to retrace the actual maritime evacuation routes used by civilians fleeing Japanese bombardment in February 1942. The new programme, Passages at Last Light, takes participants across land, sea and even “air”, with special‑access tours to Tengah Air Base—once the first command centre of the Japanese forces. From boat rides along Singapore’s southern waters to walking the same paths taken by desperate families, this immersive experience brings to life the fear, resilience and human stories behind the Fall of Singapore. Chour Thong shares how NHB curated more than 30 programmes this year—from talks and exhibitions to hands‑on family activities like LEGO “rebuild Singapore” stations at Changi Chapel and Museum. Jerome offers a glimpse into the lesser‑known narratives uncovered in his tours, including the Naval Volunteer Reserve and Cashin House’s role as a witness to invasion.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dans cet épisode solo, je vous propose de revenir sur ces moments où la petite voix ne crie pas, mais insiste. Ces périodes parfois longues où quelque chose frotte à l'intérieur, où l'on sent que ce n'est pas tout à fait juste, sans réussir encore à mettre des mots dessus.À partir des histoires récentes de mes invités et de mes propres expériences, je vous partage ce que j'ai compris de ces intuitions qui chuchotent longtemps avant de nous pousser à agir. Pourquoi on les entend sans les écouter, ce qui nous retient, et en quoi accepter quelques mois de chaos peut parfois nous rapprocher d'une vie plus alignée.Pour retrouver les épisodes que je cite :Episode avec Stéphanie sur l'intuition maternelle : https://audmns.com/DEZOxDWEpisode avec Emmanuel qui a été secrètement amoureux pendant 20 ans avant de se déclarer : https://audmns.com/NxbKdWWRÉSUMÉ DE L'ÉPISODE SOLO00:00 Introduction et mise en perspective des deux derniers épisodes avec Stéphanie et Emmanuel. 02:30 Quand la petite voix chuchote longtemps avant de devenir impossible à ignorer. 03:30 Le cas de Stéphanie et l'intuition maternelle ressentie dans le corps avant d'être comprise par la tête. 04:25 Le cas d'Emmanuel et l'amour étouffé pendant vingt ans qui ressurgit physiquement. 05:15 La petite voix comme un caillou dans la chaussure qui insiste doucement. 06:00 Ce qui nous empêche d'écouter notre intuition : la peur, le doute et le regard des autres. 07:30 Écouter sa petite voix ne rend pas la vie plus simple mais plus juste et plus alignée. 09:00 Les décisions inconfortables de Stéphanie et d'Emmanuel comme passages nécessaires vers un nouvel équilibre. 10:40 L'exemple du travail que l'on déteste et la question du chaos temporaire versus l'inconfort durable. 14:50 Se projeter à 90 ans et choisir aujourd'hui ce qui fera sens sur le long terme.intuition • petite voix intérieure • alignement de vie • prise de décision difficile • reconversion professionnelle • amour longtemps cachéSi vous aimez La petite voix, je compte sur vous pour laisser des commentaires, des étoiles ✨ et des bonnes notes sur votre plateforme de podcast préférée.

What does it truly mean to worship God in a way that reflects His heart? You'll discover that loving God isn't just about personal devotion or church attendance—it's inseparable from how you love and serve your neighbors, especially the vulnerable and marginalized. Through the lens of Micah 6:8 and Jesus's teaching about the sheep and goats, you can expect to be challenged about what active faith looks like in daily life. You'll learn that God measures our faithfulness not by our theological knowledge or religious performance, but by how we care for "the least of these"—the poor, the widow, the orphan, and the foreigner among us.Passages in this message:Micah 6:8Matthew 25:31-46Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content from The Story!TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP HERE:Thestorygr.com/connectJOIN US IN PERSON:The Story Church475 6 Mile Road NW, Comstock Park, MI 49321You can support the ministry happening at The Story at thestorygr.com/give#thestorychurch #comstockparkmi
February 8, 2026 - Sunday PM Service Welcome to Cumberland Trace Church of Christ. In this episode we focus on the theme of prayer during a singing night, and a short sermon based on Luke 11:1-4 and other passages. Announcements open the episode — information about attendance cards, Pearls and Pizza Pastries review sessions, CYC meetings and fees, and a request for preachers to help at Becton Church of Christ. The service includes congregational singing (including "Sweet Hour of Prayer"), scripture readings, and a message on learning to pray like Jesus. The preacher outlines three practical marks of Jesus's prayer life that listeners are encouraged to develop in their own walk: praying faithfully (making prayer a regular, disciplined practice), praying frankly (being honest in asking for God's will while submitting to God's will), and praying fervently (pouring out passionate, earnest prayer). Passages referenced include Mark 1:35, Luke 11:1-4, Matthew 26:39, Luke 22:44, Hebrews 5:7, Psalm 63, Daniel 6:10, and other scriptures that illustrate prayer in the Bible. Listeners can expect personal application and encouragement to deepen their prayer life, reminders about responding to the gospel (and the role of Jesus in our access to God), and an invitation to seek baptism or prayer support if needed. The episode closes with communal prayer and worship, plus pastoral offers to help anyone who wants to respond to the gospel or receive prayer. Duration 49:53

Inside our theme of love this month, this week we are focusing on teaching our kids what love is. Let's be honest … when people talk about God's love, too often it's kind of a unicorns and rainbows thing. It sounds religious or like a fantasy and so we really don't attempt to accept it for ourselves or apply it to others. Well, this week, we are trying to look at what God's love really means, for the sake of our kids. If anyone is going to help them understand the reality and the balance of His love, it needs to be us.I know yesterday's passage from Jesus' teaching was a tough one. Today is going to be no different. In fact, today's focus can sound downright questionable. Curious? Okay, listen really closely and then we'll dig in a little deeper.“Don't imagine that I came to bring peace to the earth! I came not to bring peace, but a sword. ‘I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. Your enemies will be right in your own household!' “If you love your father or mother more than you love me, you are not worthy of being mine; or if you love your son or daughter more than me, you are not worthy of being mine. If you refuse to take up your cross and follow me, you are not worthy of being mine. If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it.What do we do with these words? How do these concepts connect to God's love?Passages like this one are where our English translation from the Greek can easily get confusing. Here's the bottom line: People preach coming together across the aisles and meeting in the middle but how often do we actually see that happen? Jesus tells us that He is the ultimate dividing line for humans. Not politics or race or gender or the things we draw lines against all the time. The real line is do we believe in Him or not? Are we committed to Him or not? Do we love Him more than anyone or anything else in life?Think of it this way … What if your love for God was so strong that compared to all the other loves in your life, no one would question your commitment to Him? That's what He means.If your love for God keeps growing every day, will that cause you to love your kids less? Of course not. But the hard stuff like loving your enemies will get easier. If you love God like Jesus was talking about here, His love will mark your life, His love will mark your relationships, and His love will forever mark your kids' lives.What dividing lines do you lay down as gospel in your life? Who do you put on one side while you stand on the other? Who do you teach your kids are different than them? Whenever you hear passages like this, just remember—But if you forget about yourself and look to me, you'll find both yourself and me. … And so will your kids.Let's pray together: “Heavenly Father, I want people who stand against You, even well-meaning people, to know You. I want them to see You in my life. Help me to love You so it is clear to everyone that You are the love of my life. As above, so below.”
Quand Andrée et Jean-Pierre se rencontrent, ils savent très vite que rien ne peut arrêter leur histoire d'amour, même s'ils sont tous les deux mariés. Cependant, les conséquences de cette relation adultère ne sont pas les mêmes pour l'un et l'autre, et Andrée, pour supporter ces tiraillements, finit par plonger dans l'alcool, ce qui aura raison de son idylle avec Jean-Pierre. Des années plus tard, alors qu'elle a 70 ans et qu'il en a 88, Andrée rappelle Jean-Pierre le jour de son anniversaire. Le temps et les épreuves auront-ils eu raison de leur amour ?

What if God's mercy is more active and tangible than you've ever imagined? You'll discover how God's character holds justice and mercy together in perfect harmony, and why His standard remains unshakable even as His mercy rises to meet our rebellion. Through the story of Moses and the golden calf, you'll see that mercy isn't passive—it's hesed, a loyal covenant love that keeps showing up even when we don't deserve it. You can expect to be challenged to move beyond knowing about God's mercy to actively participating in it through practical acts of compassion toward those society overlooks.Passages in this message:Exodus 34:1-9Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content from The Story!TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP HERE:Thestorygr.com/connectJOIN US IN PERSON:The Story Church475 6 Mile Road NW, Comstock Park, MI 49321You can support the ministry happening at The Story at thestorygr.com/give#thestorychurch #comstockparkmi

Il y a des histoires d'amour qui commencent très fort… mais qui mettent longtemps à oser exister.Des histoires où la petite voix se fait entendre dès le premier regard, mais où il faut des années pour trouver le courage de l'écouter vraiment.Dans cet épisode, je reçois Emmanuel.Un homme réservé, sensible, profondément loyal à ses émotions, qui est tombé amoureux d'une femme sur les bancs de la fac… et qui a gardé ce sentiment intact pendant plus de vingt ans.À quelques jours de la Saint-Valentin, j'avais envie de vous proposer une histoire d'amour différente.Une histoire qui parle moins de grands élans spectaculaires que de timidité, de retenue, de peurs très humaines, et de ce moment précis où l'on comprend que rester immobile fait parfois plus mal que de se lancer.Bienvenue dans un épisode doux et courageux.Aujourd'hui, avec Emmanuel, nous allons parler d'un déjeuner amical anodin qui devient un véritable point de bascule, de deux petits poussins de Pâques restés trop longtemps sur un siège de voiture, et d'un obscur “cahier des charges” qui n'a rien à voir avec l'informatique… mais tout à voir avec l'amour.RÉSUMÉ DE L'ÉPISODE AVEC EMMANUEL00:00 – Le premier regard à la fac et ce sentiment immédiat qui bouleverse tout03:40 – Une timidité paralysante et une histoire qui n'ose pas commencer09:20 – Les retrouvailles inattendues après douze ans et le retour intact des émotions12:50 – Le déjeuner de mars 2019 qui change la trajectoire d'une vie18:40 – La petite voix qui s'impose dans le corps et ne laisse plus le choix21:00 – Le recours à un psy pour apprendre à dépasser la peur d'aimer24:20 – Le fameux “cahier des charges” et les rendez-vous pleins de retenue27:00 – Les deux poussins de Pâques et la décision de tout dire enfin30:45 – L'attente, le doute, puis l'ouverture progressive à une nouvelle histoire34:00 – Aimer, se faire confiance et transformer toute sa vie personnelle et professionnelleamour silencieux • timidité amoureuse • oser en amour • peur d'aimer • histoire d'amour vraieSi vous aimez La petite voix, je compte sur vous pour laisser des commentaires, des étoiles ✨ et des bonnes notes sur votre plateforme de podcast préférée.

What if listening deeply could carry us across centuries?In this Speaking of Travel episode, cellist Louise Dubin invites us into a world where travel, music, and historical discovery intertwine, reminding us that the most meaningful journeys reconnect us with voices nearly forgotten. Performing across solo, chamber, orchestral, and Broadway stages, including Radio City, Louise brings audiences beyond the concert hall, uncovering hidden musical treasures and restoring them to life with remarkable care and passion.Her recordings, including The Franchomme Project and Passages, grew from years of research and travel, especially in France, where she followed the footsteps of 19th-century composers whose works had slipped from the repertoire. Through her work, Louise shows us that curiosity is a devotion, honoring the artists who came before us and ensuring their music continues to breathe.“Travel teaches us to listen differently. When we step into the places where music was created, the notes begin to feel less like history and more like conversation.”In our conversation, Louise reflects on falling in love with the cello, the responsibility of recording works never before heard, and the discoveries that shaped her journey abroad. Together, we explore how music becomes a living conversation across time, memory, and human connection.This is a story about listening with the heart and remembering that every rediscovered note brings the past beautifully into the present. Thanks for listening to Speaking of Travel! Visit speakingoftravel.net for travel tips, travel stories, and ways you can become a more savvy traveler.
In this segment we're going back to the Office of Inspector General's report on Jeffrey Epstein's non-prosecution agreement, but this time with a perspective that simply didn't exist when most people first read it — the full, unfiltered interview Alex Acosta gave to the Inspector General after the scandal finally exploded. Because once you've seen how Acosta explains himself, how he hedges, how he minimizes, how he quietly rewrites his own role in real time, that OIG report stops reading like a neutral internal review and starts reading like a document built around what Acosta was willing to admit, not what actually happened. Passages that once sounded procedural now look evasive, timelines that once seemed complete suddenly feel selectively curated, and key conclusions begin to rest on a version of events that Acosta himself later contradicted under questioning. What we're really doing here is stress-testing the government's own narrative — comparing what the OIG said happened with what the chief architect of the deal later admitted, denied, and carefully avoided — and in the process, exposing just how much of the official record may have been shaped not by truth, but by damage control.The Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General (OIG) report into Jeffrey Epstein's 2007 Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) presents a disturbing portrait of federal cowardice, systemic failures, and deliberate abdication of prosecutorial duty. Instead of zealously pursuing justice against a serial predator with dozens of underage victims, the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of Florida, under Alexander Acosta, caved to Epstein's high-powered legal team and crafted a sweetheart deal that immunized not just Epstein, but unnamed potential co-conspirators—many of whom are still shielded to this day. The report shows that career prosecutors initially prepared a 53-page indictment, but this was ultimately buried, replaced by state charges that led to minimal jail time, lenient conditions, and near-total impunity. The OIG paints the decision as a series of poor judgments rather than criminal misconduct, but this framing betrays the magnitude of what actually occurred: a calculated retreat in the face of wealth and influence.Critically, the report fails to hold any individuals truly accountable, nor does it demand structural reform that could prevent similar derelictions of justice. It accepts, without sufficient pushback, the justifications offered by federal prosecutors who claimed their hands were tied or that the case was too risky—despite overwhelming evidence and a mountain of victim statements. The OIG sidesteps the glaring reality that this was not just bureaucratic failure, but a protection racket masquerading as legal discretion. It treats corruption as incompetence and power as inevitability. The conclusion, ultimately, feels like a shrug—a bureaucratic absolution of one of the most disgraceful collapses of federal prosecutorial integrity in modern history. It is less a reckoning than a rubber stamp on institutional failure.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:dl (justice.gov)

Because once you've seen how Acosta explains himself, how he hedges, how he minimizes, how he quietly rewrites his own role in real time, that OIG report stops reading like a neutral internal review and starts reading like a document built around what Acosta was willing to admit, not what actually happened. Passages that once sounded procedural now look evasive, timelines that once seemed complete suddenly feel selectively curated, and key conclusions begin to rest on a version of events that Acosta himself later contradicted under questioning. What we're really doing here is stress-testing the government's own narrative — comparing what the OIG said happened with what the chief architect of the deal later admitted, denied, and carefully avoided — and in the process, exposing just how much of the official record may have been shaped not by truth, but by damage control.The Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General (OIG) report into Jeffrey Epstein's 2007 Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) presents a disturbing portrait of federal cowardice, systemic failures, and deliberate abdication of prosecutorial duty. Instead of zealously pursuing justice against a serial predator with dozens of underage victims, the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of Florida, under Alexander Acosta, caved to Epstein's high-powered legal team and crafted a sweetheart deal that immunized not just Epstein, but unnamed potential co-conspirators—many of whom are still shielded to this day. The report shows that career prosecutors initially prepared a 53-page indictment, but this was ultimately buried, replaced by state charges that led to minimal jail time, lenient conditions, and near-total impunity. The OIG paints the decision as a series of poor judgments rather than criminal misconduct, but this framing betrays the magnitude of what actually occurred: a calculated retreat in the face of wealth and influence.Critically, the report fails to hold any individuals truly accountable, nor does it demand structural reform that could prevent similar derelictions of justice. It accepts, without sufficient pushback, the justifications offered by federal prosecutors who claimed their hands were tied or that the case was too risky—despite overwhelming evidence and a mountain of victim statements. The OIG sidesteps the glaring reality that this was not just bureaucratic failure, but a protection racket masquerading as legal discretion. It treats corruption as incompetence and power as inevitability. The conclusion, ultimately, feels like a shrug—a bureaucratic absolution of one of the most disgraceful collapses of federal prosecutorial integrity in modern history.

In this powerful and thought-provoking episode of the 9941 Podcast, Granger, Tyler, Parker and AntMan tackle a rapidly growing cultural trend: AI girlfriends, boyfriends, and digital soulmates. What starts as a discussion about emerging AI companion technology quickly becomes a deep, biblical examination of love, loneliness, identity, and God’s design for human relationships. The guys explore how artificial intelligence is being marketed as emotional companionship — even romantic partnership — and why that trend poses serious spiritual, emotional, and societal dangers. They reference real-world examples like hologram companions and AI chatbot “relationships,” including platforms that introduced erotic roleplay features and the emotional fallout when those features were removed. Using Scripture as their foundation, the conversation moves into what the Bible teaches about love, human connection, and God’s design for marriage. Passages from 2 Timothy 4, Proverbs 14, and Romans 1 are used to show how redefining love and pursuing artificial substitutes for real relationships leads people away from truth and toward spiritual harm. The hosts also address deeper heart issues behind the appeal of AI relationships — loneliness, sexual temptation, fear of rejection, and the desire for unconditional affirmation. They emphasize that while AI may seem safe and customizable, it ultimately replaces real sanctifying relationships and distracts people from Christ, the Church, and the gospel. The episode closes with a clear gospel message, reminding listeners that true love, fulfillment, and rest are found in Jesus alone — not in manufactured affection or digital fantasy. The guys issue a firm warning against pursuing romantic or emotional relationships with AI and encourage believers to trust God with their singleness, relationships, and longing for connection. *************** Follow the show: Instagram - https://www.Instagram.com/9941thepodcast Facebook - https://www.Facebook.com/9941thepodcast YouTube - https://www.YouTube.com/@9941ThePodcast Online - https://www.9941ThePodcast.com Shop - https://yeeyee.com/collections/faithSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
