Before Anyone Else // S09E01

Welcome to season 9! If it’s your first time listening or you’ve been here since season 1, we’re glad to have you. In this episode we introduce the theme of season 9: O.H.B.A.E. Obey-Him-Before-Anyone-Else. To obey Him we must love Him first. For without love all our efforts are pointless. But, the more we love and know Him and His will, the better and more willingly we can obey him!
