Pilot Episode: Introduction to Manoah Place of Rest
Welcome to Manoah - Place of Rest! In this episode, I, Londeka Zulu, your host, will break down why I started the podcast. The heart of the Lord is for His children to know who He is and who they are in Him. So many Christians carry so many burdens that the Lord has called us to lay down, but I pray that as we journey together through these episodes, the truth of the Word of Jesus Christ will set you free!
So, welcome to my little corner of the internet! Welcome to Manoah, A place of Rest!
