229 - Finding God in Its A Wonderful Life

Merry Christmas! Welcome to our Christmas episode - one I had a TON of fun recording. It's A Wonderful Life is by far my favorite Christmas movie. This year I was introduced to Pastor Greg Asimakoupoulos who is a huge fan and the author of the book, Finding God in It's A Wonderful Life. I was expecting a cheesy book but found a really encouraging a helpful devotional work that has God used in my life. If you've seen the movie, you will love the book. You can see the heart of a pastor in each page. It's divided into short, easy-to-read chapters complete with discussion questions at the end. You can use it for your own personal use or could easily be used with your small group. Download this episode today and then get the book!!!Recommended Resources:Finding God in It's a Wonderful Life by Greg Asimakoupoulos
