Santos is back to talk about Easter with me. We start off talking about our experiences with Easter growing up and then move on to the Easter story. We read through the Gospel accounts and respond to the things that we find interesting or the questions that arise. Time started to become an issue so we had to speed things up at the end, but hopefully you will still find this edifying. Enjoy! Please remember to rate and review!

I spoke with Dr. Neil Cudney who serves as the current President of Emmanuel Bible College. Neil came into this position during the pandemic and as you can imagine, it hasn't exactly been an easy to time to serve. He shares his testimony, what has been happening at EBC since stepping onboard, and a little about the miracle that has taken place over the last month. I recorded the intro and outro on a new microphone that I'm still learning how to use, so you will likely notice a difference in sound quality, and I don't know how I didn't notice the creaking chair so you'll have to forgive me! Enjoy!

Kim is back from Guyana and has some great stories to update us on about what is happening down there. The main focus of our conversation is about a racial reconciliation ministry that she is taking part in. We also talk about passing on the baton of leadership, the struggles of that and what it also allows her to do more of.

Matt is a new but much loved member at Verity, and he is stepping into the youth pastor role that we have been sorely lacking. We get to hear his testimony and how he ended up where he is. We had a great time talking with him and I hope you enjoy listening as much as we had recording this. Also we get to catch up on what Stan has been up to lately during his time off. 

Sandra was a missionary to Brazil for 20 years and has served in different ministry positions in Canada. She is now a chaplain and a key member of Verity church, helping head up our missions team.

How many shepherds were at the birth of Christ? How many wise men? Were there any wise men? Where was Jesus born? In a stable, a cave, or a house? Why do we celebrate on December 25th? Hopefully some of these questions will be answered for you on the Christmas edition of the Word with God podcast.
