Things of Faith with Pastor Scott Hawkins
This podcast is intended to be a conversation starter for families. I want this to be a place for families to listen together to the conversation starters and start talking about things of faith in the home. Faith is rooted in families and I want this to be a tool to equip dialogue and allow for new thoughts to take shape in the lives of God's people.
