Hiddenness and Manifestation
May 11, 2021 12:00 - 26 minutes - 23.9 MBTo continue our theme of “Hope” for this month, we’re featuring an excerpt from Hiddenness and Manifestation. Graham discusses something relatable to all of us in different seasons - the disconcerting feeling of being unable to tangibly feel God’s presence, or being disconnected with Him emotionally. But as we’ll see in this message, there is great hope for us to take hold of in such times, and beautiful, deeper things in the Spirit to lay hold of. —— To sign up for Graham’s Challenge ev...

This episode is an excerpt from one of Graham’s teachings called “The Practice of Rest.” We featured the beginning of this teaching in Ep 71 of our Podcast. This second part features two more audio tracks from it. The full teaching contains several ...

But the realm that we inhabit in the Spirit, and are true citizen...

The Way God Walks With Us - Featured Challenge

This particular Featured Challenge airs Wednesday - Friday, March 17 -19th. The topic of this is around relational learning.
