In this episode of Beyond Just Christian Podcast, Brenna explores chapter three of the Old Testament book, Ezra. As she discusses the themes of praise, time, and change, she highlights the verses that inspired her personal reflections from studying this passage.  

By the end of this episode, Brenna hopes listeners will be encouraged to trust that whatever God begins, He will surely finish.
