Our Ancient Future Story
Our Ancient Future Story: Navigating Scripture Through The Eyes of Family. We as Christ followers, are children of God, co-heirs with Christ, adopted into God’s family, but now that we are in the family of God there is an Ancient Future story that we need to learn to tell us all about this Amazing family we are now a part of. And we need to know this story. Throughout this podcast we will open the pages of history and step back in time to recount and relive our story. We will walk with family and discover each town, explore major kingdoms, and experience miraculous victories. My hope is that at the end of this podcast we will see that these are not just characters in a story that someone just thought up and wrote down. But that these are Actual people, who really lived, and who are our ancestors. So, I encourage you to grab a cup of coffee and find a comfortable place to sit and get ready to hear scripture like never before…Through the Eyes of Family.
