Able to Sleep at Night-036

2/14/2023
The difference between those who follow Christ and those who don’t is not the lack of trouble; it’s the overwhelming, unexplainable peace of God right in the middle of those troubles. Today’s God-story might just help you sleep better tonight. Visit the Episode webpage to hear the Serenity Prayer and see scripture mentioned in the podcast today. WHY GOD STORIES? Why is it important to tell God stories? There are so many reasons but Jesus explained it best when He was asked about using so many parables. He said, “I tell stories, to create readiness, to nudge people toward receptive insight.” (That’s taken from Matthew 13 Message version). I’ve experienced God’s amazing work in my life through Jesus Christ and I’m passionate about others experiencing this joy and peace as well! ~Mark MORE MUSIC You can hear today’s featured song at GGSSPodcast.com or on your favorite streaming platform.
