0:00.0 | Welcome to the Elisa Childers podcast where we equip Christians to identify the core beliefs of historic Christianity, |
0:06.4 | discern its counterfeits and proclaim the gospel with clarity, kindness and truth and we are going to continue to do that even while I'm on sabbatical and not |
0:15.1 | recording full-length episodes until after the new year. But as we were going |
0:19.6 | through some old content we realized that there were some posts that only went out to a select group of |
