2020/04/25

The Cupboard gathers this episode with Allison and her mom, Esther; Catherine and her mom, Carol. This episode is a bit of a different format as we bring together two moms and their daughters to talk about life, faith, and growing up in what would be considered conservative Christian homes.

We would suggest grabbing a

Sanctification Without Fear with Dr. Jeff and Susan...

Rector’s Cupboard Podcast ·

2020/04/10

This episode, Rector's Cupboard speaks with Jeff and Susan McSwain about sanctification and spiritual growth.

As we traveled to record an episode of the Cupboard, we listened to our Prime Minister advise that "If you can stay home, stay home". So maybe we won't be gathering for some time. At least not in person. We are in the midst of, at the beginning of, the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic. Already we are used to the terms, "social distancing", "self-isolating", "flatten the curve". On March 16, 2020 we talk about how we are feeling, how so many are feeling. If hope is real, we will long to know hope
