A Way In: Obadiah | Follow Podcast Episode 16

For Episode 16, Pastor Jessica joins us to talk about the book of Obadiah! One small book that has a lot to say. Our conversation included themes of our global impact, obedience, world and politics, parenting, how to read Old Testament promises. Lots to chew on together. Be a part of the conversation in the comments .
