Day 118: King Saul Despairs (2024)
Fr. Mike reflects on King Saul's despair in the face of trial, and how he seeks other means of comfort when he feels like God has abandoned him. God never abandons us, especially in the midst of danger. Fr. Mike invites us to place our trust in God's promise, instead of resorting to sinful acts.

Life changing podcast
OMG!!
Where do I even begin?
This podcast has been a life changing experience to me. I am usually sad and a tad confused when I hear ‘God Bless!!’. . . I’m always left thinking, ok, now what do I do with my life 🤷🏽♀️?? Because I just can’t wait for the next episode.
I have shared this podcast with EVERYONE and I’m here still thinking 🤔 who else needs to join me on this journey. I have never known the Bible and it’s tales or reflected to it the way I am now in these day to day reflections with Fr. Mike. If I’m to advise the team, I’d say, puh liiiiiiiiiiz, make it a bit longer. You are transforming lives, Fr. Mike, and if this is the only thing you are doing in life, you are doing it ALL 🙌🏽. Doing it WELL 👌🏽. You are doing God’s will🙏🏽. Thank you Fr. Mike.
Bible in a year
Thank you for this noble work you are doing for us. It is now easy to listen to the bible daily, even when you are tired, and especially being able to go back and listen again which iis handy than reading especially when you need reading glasses. Again thank you, it is our Lord Jesus Christ who started in you this good work. Be blessed
