Another episode with Melanie and Merari before the end of 2023. As we reflect on 2023 here are a few take aways. Things God has taught us, circumstances that have molded us, and a few reminders as we begin 2024. Our hope is always to be of encouragement to you all.

Often times when we fail the Lord, the Christian is met with two extremes of shame/guilt or lack of accountability. On this episode we discuss the importance of accepting forgiveness as a gracious gift of God, which leads us to confession and ultimately frees us from all shame. Base reading: Psalm 32.

On this episode we discuss the importance of inward reflection as Christians. Together we reflect on maintaining a friendship with Jesus intentionally, making the effort to personally know him, and all the hard heart work that entails. Join us as we reflect on 2021 and our goals for 2022. Our hope is you take time to ask yourself these same questions, in order that we may live more fully in Christ.

Welcome to the first Podcast of After Church Hours. My name is Melanie - and my name is Merari! We are excited to walk alongside other young adults whose experiences are unique to a community of faith. On this episode we introduce ourselves through our conversion story, share a little bit of how we got here and why we decided to start a podcast.
