May this week begin with rest for you on this Labor Day (at least in the US, but we still pray rest occurs for our Asian, African, South American, Australian, and European listeners as well)! This week we are celebrating with you and the Gary Church Staff as we just finished our 100th episode last week. Come join us in scripture and prayer!!! Our Podcast includes a: Gathering (00:00), Opening Prayer (00:30), Psalm (01:11), Scripture (02:41) Prayer (03:49), Dr. Christa Tooley (06:57), Celebrating our 100th Episode This Week (07:37), Blessing (08:30), End (09:00).
