SHOW NOTES
Today’s Verse’s: Mark 1:9-11 (NIV)
Friends, the message of this podcast is a game changer. It’s that profound and it’s that simple.
I’ve spent years of my life and ministry trying to wrap my head and heart around what I’m talking with you about this week in this particular podcast.
For sure, if you listen to one podcast this week—let this ONE be it!
Share it with some friends and try to listen to it with your spouse, family, or friends.
I’m going to send the link to some specific men and women that I, myself, have been on the journey of understanding this profound truth—what it means to call oneself The Beloved of God.
Three years ago, our Board of Potter’s Inn mandated that Gwen and I capture the key message—the essence of the ministry of Potter’s Inn. They asked us to take the time to record these messages so that the message might outlive us. This one message would be what I can honestly tell you is THE message that has altered so many lives in our work around the world. We hope that you’ll be greatly blessed and encouraged by this. Goodness…what days these are—that we simply need the good news! This, dear friends is the good news we can savor!
It is with this great and profound seriousness—that we send you this week’s podcast!
Thank you for your support and prayers these days.
Every blessing!
Steve and Gwen Smith
