    #23 Did God say that? Featuring Lucinda Smith

    #23 Did God say that? Featuring Lucinda Smith

    Steve's wife Lucinda joins us again - this time to reflect on the issue of faith. Faith has been described as the currency of heaven and the Bible tells us that without faith it is impossible to please God (Heb. 11:6). But what is faith? Perhaps one of the biggest challenges that many of us have is to hear and respond to the seemingly very small call of God on our lives.

    #32 Hope in addiction, featuring Steph Macleod (S3 E5)

    In this episode we hear a great message of hope for any caught up in addiction, however severe, through the wonderful testimony of Scottish musician Steph Macleod. Steph has previously gone through extreme trauma which resulted in very severe addiction to alcohol and drugs. Yet, through his faith in Jesus, Steph has found true freedom and lasting recovery. I (Steve Smith) had the pleasure of interviewing Steph and I trust you will find his testimony inspiring.

    You can find Steph's music on all major music outlets and via his website: www.stephmacleod.com

Perfect for my current season in life

As an entrepreneur, I go 180 mph all day, every day. I felt like I was being lead in to a season of slowness, stillness, and rest. When I came upon this podcast, it was everything I needed to encourage me and help me slow down. Thank you!!!
