Being Present in the Hallway w/ Tracy Brown
About this podcast
The world around us may have grown increasingly chaotic, but there is still fullness of joy in His Presence! That's what The Presence Driven Life podcast is all about—learning to live from the beauty, peace, and joy of His presence. That preaches good, but how do we authentically live it out? Join host Cindy Powell and others as we have real conversations, about real issues affecting real people, who are pressing in for more of a very real God.
We plan to post a new episode every Monday, often with special guests who add richness and depth to the conversation. We will explore a variety of topics—from the sweet and simple, to the deep and complex—all with the goal of removing obstacles that hinder us from living in the abiding reality of unbroken communion with Jesus. While we won't shy away from tough or even controversial topics, our goal will always be to keep His presence at the center. We want the freedom to be brutally honest, yet fully honoring to God as we learn to practice His presence together!
I hope you'll join us!
