VERGECAST
16 episodes - English - Latest episode: almost 4 years ago -We all have questions. What does God's Word say about the situation I'm in? In what ways can scripture teach me to live in righteousness today? How can I apply God's truth to my life right? These are the questions that VERGECAST seeks to answer and more.
During our time together, our podcast will be structured around two parts. Part one will be geared around walking through scripture together. This section will answer the question of what does God's word say? We will walk through books of the bible as well as one-off passages to glean from it and seek to see what God wants to show us through His Word.
The second part of our podcast will be focused on the application. How can I apply God's Word today? This will be taught through counseling case studies, theology questions, and practical steps one can take to live righteously.
We pray that VERGECAST is a blessing to you and we are eager to see how God uses it in your life.
