Come Follow Me EASTER Edition
Easter, Through the Eyes of Matthew. Matt 21-28
This is the first installment of the new Come Follow Me video cast. But I found I wanted to share it with the podcast as well, so I doubled down. And when I say that, I mean to say that I perhaps quadrupled down! This is by far the LONGEST PODCAST KNOWN to Reflecting LIght. So FAIR WARNING. It's LOOOONG.
Break it up, take it in chapters, or not at all. Just let me know if you learned something new or if this was a complete bust. It's an experiment.
Above all Happy Easter to each one of you!!! May you be blessed with heavenly love and light!
Wisdom Speaks in the Silence
Fresh back from a Mary Magdalene Pilgrimage in France, Mandy invites us to look at the value of silence. What does the silence teach us that is distinctly different from the word or logos? Tune in!
