For The KingFTK

Will the saints finally persevere? Can you fall away from your faith? Are you your own keeper? Listen to the biblical answer to such questions this week on the For The King podcast! Thanks for listening!

My guest joining me this week on the Sunday series is my brother Bryce. Bryce is getting his undergraduate degree in philosophy and hopes to get his MDiv. from a seminary after he completes his undergrad. He hopes to be a pastor shepherding Gods people one day.

“He who falls, falls by his own will; and he who stands, stands by God's will.”

― Augustine of Hippo, The Gift Of Perseverance
