The Simple Walk
We are Craig and Diane Brown and we invite you to listen in on our conversations about God's Word and the power this amazing book contains. These chats at our podcast table are intended to inspire the listener to understand how simple our daily walk with Jesus can be when we are surrendered to Him. Romans 12:2 says that we are not to be conformed to this world, but we are to be transformed by the renewing of our mind. How does this happen? It's by making the determination that we are going to live for Jesus and not for ourselves. It sounds daunting, but it's not. We hope to simplify this for you so you are able to live a life of "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control." (Galatians 5:22-23) We publish new episodes weekly and we invite you to subscribe to this podcast so you don't miss a single episode!
We would love to hear from you! If you have topics or particular scriptures you would like us to cover, we will be happy to consider those for future episodes. We can be reached by email at thesimplewalkpodcast@gmail.com.
