We have properly launched "Project Psalmify" in Church, focussing on one psalm a month, learning to pray like Jesus of Nazereth prayed, and sing the songs He did. We weren't organised enough to get some proper Psalm 1 pods out there but we have

#14 - Confessions of a Saviour

Apr 16th, 2024 16m 11s

Feb 1st, 2024 11m 17s
