Summary
Pastor Mark Turman was so encouraged by Dr. Denison's book about the Holy Spirit, titled Empowered, that he asked to record its 47 chapters as daily readings for his church.
When Dr. Denison heard about this, he suggested the great idea to release these recordings as bonus episodes of The Daily Article Podcast every day from Ash Wednesday to Easter.
We hope that you will likewise be encouraged by these short, insightful, and empowering podcast episodes.
