Follow Podcast Episode 12

This is a special live edition of the Follow Podcast. Coming right out of a gathering with guest speaker, Aaron Holbrough (you can watch the full teaching here: https://youtu.be/4NsHlNj1CTM) shared about his own journey with setbacks and suffering - and how he was able to surprisingly find God profoundly right in the middle of it. We had a chance to follow up that teaching with a Q&R (question and response) to dive deeper into what it means to be Living While You're Dying.
