Scripture Matters Podcast - Episode 10 (Chapter 8 "The Helper")

A hallway that won’t end, a shadow that won’t name itself, and a jump scare that gets you every time—fear thrives in the dark. We begin with that image to expose something many of us keep in the shadows: sin, and the way misjudging it either te...
