When God Winks 04/27/2021

When God Winks Call it coincidence, call it miraculous, whatever you call it, there are simply moments in life you can't explain. When you KNOW things have been divinely orchestrated. When something happens just as you'd hoped, when things link together in a ridiculously meaningful way, when the timing all works out, when a certain message is repeated...we call those God winks. We thought it was high time we stop and share some of those recent moments when we felt God wink. /episode/index/show/lacoolj/id/18885401

Collectively, we've probably never been happier to welcome a new year!
