Coulda Shoulda Woulda with Janell Wood

Fear feels like control, but love feels like trust. Anyone who does evangelism or apologetics knows the burden of trying to change someone’s mind regarding matters of faith. It is a burden of love, but without a firm confidence in the Lord, it can feel to others like a burden of control. In this episode, […]

CouldaShouldaWoulda with Robby Lashua, Part 2

Abdu Murray — Thu, 18 May 2023 20:37:00 +0000
