Summary

In the last podcast of this year, we’re going to take time to simply make space for God to fill. Whenever we make a little room in our day, and in our hearts for God, it always amazes me how he can fill us with exactly what we need. So today, simply make room for God for whatever you need most, and allow him to fill that space with his good and perfect nearness.

Our Scripture for today comes from Psalm 46:10, and today's worship is Open Space by Housefires featuring Kirby Kaple.
