- New Episode of Craving Answers, Craving God
-
A new episode of Craving Answers, Craving God (CACG) is available. Pastor Aaron and Chuck Rathert take on the question, “Is God in Charge?”
Christians believe that he is in charge, but then why do so many things happen that are outside of his will? Is he active, passive or absent in the exercise of his almighty power? Episode 30 is the newest installment of CACG. Go to http://cacg.saintjamesglencarbon.org or put Craving Answers, Craving God in your search engine, and you’ll be directed to the CACG page on the St. James website.
Let us know if you enjoy the discussion.
