A podcast of short stories from the scriptures to engage and encourage young children.

While Scripture is full of wisdom and advice, it isn’t always easy to know how the Bible’s words—written thousands of years ago—should apply to our lives now. As a result, many Christians wrestle with questions like these: Where is God leading me personally? How do I live out my faith when others disagree? How can I share the gospel … without being weird or pushy? How do I keep going when life gets hard? With just the right mix of Scripture, personal stories, real-life examples, and practical, encouraging advice, Follow God’s Will gives us guidance.

Renowned for her exquisite landscapes and fine portraits, painting has been Judy Ann MacMillan’s life from a very young age. Once again, she has turned that acute and truthful eye upon herself with a sensational new self-portrait. But this time, she is using a pen rather than a paintbrush. With startling honesty, Born Ya lays bare the unique sacrifices required of a female artist living and working in an island that can often confound even the strongest spirit. Despite all the trials and tribulations, MacMillan has remained true to her twin passions of painting and homeland.
