Summary
In today’s podcast, we’re going to explore God’s healing for our past wounds and present scars. There is so much power in forgiveness, so much healing in reconciliation. May you find healing today for any wounds or scars you’ve been carrying, whether big or small. And may you find a greater measure of abundant life as the result of God’s presence and mercy.
Our Scripture for today comes from 1 Peter 2:24, and today's worship is Old For New by Bethel Music featuring Hannah McClure.
