One Voice Makes A Difference with Janet Swanson
In this episode of One Voice Makes a Difference, I am going to dive into the transformative power of fasting, focusing on the principles laid out in Isaiah 58. Fasting is more than abstaining from food—it’s about aligning your heart with the will of the Father and seeing heaven move here on earth.

This testimony is one of faith, perseverance, and the undeniable hand of God at work. Through this story, I want to encourage you to...

You guys, I know this is an old song, but I pulled it out to do this week because I was feeling it deep in my spirit. Especially after I looked at what it meant. This is how we do our Huddle (word of encouragement) each week at our church.
