Podcast

Did you know my friend Del Bates and I have a podcast,“Seeds of Hope”? It will give you encouragement for what you face today, tomorrow, and always. We record live on Facebook every Thursday at 11:00 a.m. on Vero’s Voice Magazine‘s Facebook page and Vero’s Voice app (download for free). You can also access them on my podcast page right here on my website.

That’s it for my latest news. Thanks so much for stopping by. Your support is more appreciated than you will ever know!! (Authors always appreciate you sharing their books, AND leaving reviews on Amazon, etc. – they are the lifeblood of our books!)

Remember, Jesus said, “Always pray, and don’t lose heart.” If you’re losing heart, I hope you’ll check out my article “Don’t Lose Heart” above.

As always, I’d love to hear from you. Let me know what you found encouraging from what I’ve shared.  Or – What’s your greatest struggle when it comes to prayer? Do you have a prayer request I can pray for you? Please share in the comments or contact me privately here on my website.

Love and blessings,

Penny
