SHOW NOTES

This week’s podcast is with lifelong minister of the gospel Leighton Ford, who shares with Steve about his story and how it becomes a personal history of listening for God’s voice. He recounts the different ways God has spoken to him, and the different ways he has learned to listen.

 What emerges is not just an account of a long and faithful life of Christian service, but a picture of the Christian life―the life of listening. 

It's a conversation you don’t want to miss!
