“We’re desperately in need of relief / From the demanded pursuit of perfection, affection, / And everything they say / Will be the way to freedom” ...But that isn’t the way to freedom, is it? These women have exhausted their belief in the up and down promises of culture, and are here to share the sigh of relief they’ve found in the upside down Kingdom of God. Tackling topics personal to their individual stories, guests join host Andrea Lyn Chartier to show how God uses the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and the weak things of the world to shame the strong. | 1 Cor. 1:17-2:16 | https://andrealyn.bandcamp.com/track/upside-down
