Embrace Truth Podcast

Do you desire to become all that God created you to be? The Embrace Truth podcast focuses on 2 truths to help you become just that—your identity in Christ, and a balanced biblical view of how Satan operates.

You do have an enemy of your soul who wants to keep you from reaching your full potential. Don’t let him. Get equipped by listening.

You will also learn in each episode how to apply the truth taught in tangible, life-changing ways so that you can walk in victory no matter what trial or struggle you’re facing.

This podcast series is inspired by Cherie’s book Clothed in Righteousness. Here are a few words that some students have penned after going through the Clothed in Righteousness Curriculum: “Revealing and insightful!” “Transformative!” “My heart’s healed!” “Engaging and energizing!” “Carefully crafted!”
