SENTINEL WATCH PODCAST

Feeling concerned about the political divide? This week’s guest shares how prayer has played a central role in her work in the halls of government and has shown her that when progress seems impossible and people seem polarized, God reveals a way forward and brings us together.

Walk in the light, and thou shalt own
Thy darkness past away,
