Welcome to Further in, a podcast where Pastor Ben and members of our team, take a deeper look at the

scripture we studied this week at Passion City Church, D.C. and consider how to apply the truths of God's word to our lives.

If you'd like to study the Book of Daniel along with us this fall,

check out the reading plan on our website at passion city church DC.com.

Okay, well we're back.

We've had a couple weeks go by here, a couple messages, one from you, Pastor Bed, and one from Thomas, who's sitting here with this as well.
