Merry Christmas everyone!

Today's episode I discuss the word "lavish" and where I found it used in the Bible. When I read this word, I developed the phrase "Live Life Lavishly".

I hope you have a blessed Christmas season and remember that God lavished his love on us.

Thank you for being here in my first year of the podcast. God bless you and yours!
