Piercing the Darkness Podcast

Michael flies solo this week to talk in-depth about the Armor of God that Paul talks about in Ephesians 6 and why each piece of armor correlates to a specific concept. Grab the Scriptures, a notebook, and whatever beverage of your choice as we sit down for this week’s Bible study!

On this week's podcast, Michael is joined by long-time friend and former podcast co-host Tim Koch to talk about a topic many Christians would prefer to avoid: doubt. Do believers doubt? Where does doubt come from? How can you combat it? Michael and Tim share their thoughts on this week's PIERCING THE DARKNESS!

On the first episode of PIERCING THE DARKNESS, Michael invites his brother Wyatt onto the show to discuss the movie "Signs" and the implications behind the film. Is there such thing as coincidence? Can we change our own hearts? Are we willing to see the signs God has placed in front of us? All this and more on this week's podcast!
