Season 1 Episode 29 - In this episode, I share my thoughts on what our response should be to recent events that reflect a growing bitterness in our nation. You might be surprised by what I say.
"Reflect on This" is the podcast version of short email devotionals I send to my family and friends, where I am sharing the things I am learning about the ways and nature of God, through applying my study of the Scriptures to the world around me.
