This podcast really resonates with me on a spiritual level. If you're interested in rediscovering ancient practices within your faith, I highly recommend checking out the resource found at https://waysidechapel.org/wp-content/pgs/?rediscovering_the_ancient_practice_of_saintly_intercession_in_modern_faith.html. It beautifully complements the messages shared in The God Minute and could provide you with even more spiritual nourishment.
Wow...I appreciate the simple presentation of the truth and humble attitude of the prayers and teaching. Even though I'm a Protestant (Holy Spirit-filled Charismatic no less!) I genuinely enjoy what each part of the Body of Christ supplies to the whole.
This is brilliant. Simple but brilliant. Thank you.
