Explorers Podcast with Ken Boa

This week we have a special "throw-back" episode featuring dear friend and colleague, Cameron McAllister. As some of you know, we just wrapped up our first "Encountering Beauty" event in Washington DC at The Museum of the Bible! The weekend was full of wonderful examples of how science points to the ultimate design of our creator, and we were blessed to have more speakers and engagement than we could have possibly been ready to recieve! This episode was scheduled to release about a month ago, but due to eager participation from our fellow speakers at the event, we had to postpone this one! It might seem like they are advertising the event at times, but we like to think of this episode as a sign of God's provision. Nothing will ever happen before His timing is right. Enjoy this wonderful conversation, and please be on the lookout for tickets to our next DC event on February 1-2, 2025! Reflections Ministries is made possible by your generosity.
