S4 E8 The Healing Power of Praying with Saints with Belinda Terro Mooney

Shownotes

Many of the saints suffered greatly during their lives, some even losing their lives just because they chose faith over the fear of death. They all, in some way, endured so much loss and suffering yet transformed it into faith and action. What can we learn from these men, women, and even children who are among the cloud of witnesses who are powerful intercessors for us?
