The Isaiah 43 Podcast
In the Isaiah 43 podcast, we will explore how God formed us, redeemed us, and how He calls us today. Every week we will journey through scripture to understand all that God has done and what His call is for our lives. We will also tackle difficult questions and challenges against faith so that we may all be more confident when sharing the story of salvation with others, even those who stand against it.
