Hello, this is Jensen Franklin, and thank you so much for joining us for this week's podcast.

Our goal is to provide you with biblically based teachings that will challenge, inspire, and equip you to live for Jesus.

If you haven't already, I'd love for you to go ahead and subscribe today to this podcast so you can get the latest updates from us and you don't
