The Built Different Podcast with Dr. Zach Clinton

Since the beginning of time, God’s Word tells us that we were created for one thing: a RELATIONSHIP with Him. Unfortunately, sin quickly entered this world which ruptured the relationship we were intended to have with God. But God, being so rich in love, grace, and mercy sent His one and only Son, Jesus, to pay the penalty for our sins on the cross and to rise again 3 days later so that we may have the opportunity to restore our relationship with Him! All we simply have to do is say YES to Jesus through asking for the forgiveness of our sins and believing in Him. In this episode our Built Different guest, Pastor Clayton King joins us to share of the significance of the Easter Story. Pastor Clayton shares details and stories from Scripture that may easily get overlooked, yet proclaim of the goodness, faithfulness, and intentionality of God. Our prayer is that through this episode, you will be reminded of your worth and value in understanding that God specifically cares for you and He loves to redeem wounded lives!

It may be hard to get up right now, but continue to fight the good fight. Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
