Phone In a FriendNew Year, Same God Pt 2: The Unwavering CharacterWelcome back! Four months into the New Year, as we welcome the new blooms of spring's flowers, we still need to be reminded of God's consistent hand. In this episode, we piggyback off last year's conversations about ushering in a new year with the Christian perspective focused on God's unchanging nature. We are reminded that God is not limited by worldly time and space, but his sovereignty makes him the anchor that brings stability to our wavering life circumstances.2023-04-0137 minPhone In a FriendSeason 1 Finale!Available to WATCH on Youtube:
