Rebuild by The Barking Fox
Our Creator is willing to rebuild us from the inside out. That's what it means to "be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." (Romans 12:2) This is a New Covenant process: God pouring out His Spirit on His people to give them new hearts capable of obeying His instructions, commandments, and laws. This podcast explores that process through short devotional meditations inspired by the weekly Torah portions, with connections drawn from the whole Bible.
