Almost Daily Devotional

166 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 12 years ago - ★★★★ - 3 ratings

The Almost Daily Devotional is a podcast that I, Cliff Ravenscraft, started back in March of 2008. I had just recently left my career in insurance to pursue podcasting full-time.

Launching my own business was not an easy task and I was often overcome with stress, anxiety, and depression on a monthly basis, wondering if I was going to be able to make this all work out.

There is no doubt that God was there for me every step of the way. Looking back, I wonder how I could have had such little faith.

This podcast was produced from March 2008 through December 2011. While many of my beliefs about faith and God may have shifted since these episodes were produced, I am so thrilled that I have the archives of this faith based podcast from this season of my life.

If you have a desire to learn more about my faith journey beyond 2008, check out my "Encouraging Others Through Christ" podcast.
