Freedom Has Come // TGP Episode 18

In this episode, Beth and Jenna talk with Ike Ndolo, *husband,* worship leader, and songwriter about his new records, specifically his new song called "Your Table" (https://open.spotify.com/album/5wkeFiRZLhtFdzSpJBwUFe?si=Slcv5QxIQKG3tZ-jqQhKIw). They talk about how stories change our opinions and views of another, and the power of hearing another's story. Join in on the discussion about viewing "the other" in each one of our lives, loving our enemies (even when they're in the Church), and how freedom comes when we remember the truth about God: He is for the oppressed, the outcast, the vulnerable. He is for you.
