Finding Truth - Deception of the Anti-Christ

We will discuss all of this and more in today's episode.

Angels Around Us - part 4

Thank you for joining us for the 4th installment of our series, "Angels Around Us." It is the most thrilling one yet!  We are looking at the angels who interacted with Joseph, Mary and the shepherds at the time of Jesus' spectacular birth that first Christmas night. We pray this podcast brings you joy as we learn how much God loves us. He loves us so much that He sent His one and only Son to be born in a lowly manger and, ultimately, to die on the cross for our sins. And, He conquered sin and death when He rose again on the 3rd day! 

This is a wonderful day to celebrate His birth and to embrace Him as your Lord and Savior.  We will share how you can make that crucial decision at the end of this podcast.

Next week, we are looking for some audience participation! If you or someone close to you has had an angelic encounter, please share it with us! You can send your angel stories to us via email at woolfcounsell@gmail.com.

We would be honored to share your story next week on Hope for the Hurting.

Angels Around Us - part 3

Thank you for joining us for the 3rd episode in our 5-part series entitled, "Angels Around Us."  In today's podcast, we will take a deeper look into angelic involvement in our lives and on the earth.  God sent angels to be examples for us.  Angels carry out some of God's plans, both bringing joyful news and glad tidings and also doling out judgment and destruction on the wicked. Angels were created to glorify God, and they are not to be worshipped.  Only God is worthy of our worship and devotion.  We will discuss all of these topics and more on today's show.

Our next podcast will drop on Christmas Eve, and that is the perfect opportunity to shine the spotlight on the angels who were actively on the scene at the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Please join us!
