Hope Anchors
Most Sundays messages are around 25-30 min in length. There are hours of research that goes into the messages and a lot of content is left out to meet the time constraint. This podcast is a conversation between Sean Rice and the Pastor of Hope Covenant Church Johnny Aho. We dig deeper into the message that was delivered on the Sunday before so you will hear references to the message.
