Episode 24: Faith Part 2

This week on The Presence Podcast, we continue our journey through the transformative power of faith. Faith isn’t just belief—it’s a muscle. And like any muscle, it grows through use, challenge, and even discomfort. In this episode, Mark sits down with Michaela, along with Pastors Chris and Suzy, to explore how the stretching of our faith—in seasons of waiting, risk, or uncertainty—not only strengthens us, but also encourages those around us. We talk about the role each of us plays in the story of faith, the power of shared testimonies, and how personal growth in faith can ripple into our families, communities, and churches. Whether you’re in a season of bold steps or quiet trust, this episode will remind you that your faith journey matters—and it’s not just about you.
