Today Counts: How Could This Be God's Plan?


THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

If you want to accomplish more than survival, more than the average person, you’re going to have to get stronger. Stronger in mind, emotions, and best and appropriate behaviors.

You have to get better every day. I don’t know that this is possible without faith. Faith in what? That’s the question because your faith is only as strong as the object of your faith.

No exceptions.

🎧 Episode 154: Divided Nations, Divine Diversity & God's Sovereign Plan

(Genesis 10 Study)

In this episode of The Today Counts Show, we continue a collection of conversations on the book of Genesis.  Jim talks with Matt Martin and Winston Harris about Chapter 10 of Genesis.

This chapter is known as the "Table of Nations" and we learn the origin of the world nations. The guys unpack God's redemptive love, appreciation for diversity, and faithfulness through generations.

Tune in for a profound exploration of biblical wisdom and spiritual growth!

The bad teaches you as much or perhaps even more than the good.
