Note from Brian:
Welcome to “The 5 Pillars of a Great Life”, an original audiobook focused on helping
Christians make sense of this world we are in. The goal is to encourage, but never at the expense of truth. We will take the truth found in Scripture and apply it to the real spiritual battles going on today. Ignoring pre-conceived beliefs, we will look at, actions-what is really going on, then use this truth of Scripture to accurately discern the times and how to respond.
Jesus said in John 8:32
“You will know the truth and the truth will set you free”.
This is what we are going to attempt to do with each podcast, get to the truth, so we can live as we have been called.
