AOP PODCAST: Bethany Peelman | Angels Unaware
The book of Job says, “By means of their suffering, he rescues those who suffer. For he gets their attention through adversity." The rub is, we need to be willing to allow God to use our suffering for His glory! In the face of adversity, when we don't see a way, He makes a way by his grace, mercy, and compassion for us, and sometimes by the angels we entertain.
Listen in to Bethany Peelman's story of fully trusting God for provision and protection and embracing Christ as the ultimate source of peace after a life altering accident changed her life while serving others in ministry.
