Encouraging God's Daughters
Welcome to the Foolish Things! I’m Darla Simone, and I’m so glad you’re here. As God's daughters we stand on His word even when the world calls it foolish. I am here as God's ambassador to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As Apostle Paul stated, "I did not come with brilliance of speech or wisdom. I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified". I yield that He may be revealed. I pray that your faith and wisdom grows as the Holy Spirit demonstrates God's power in every episode of this podcast.
💛
I’m praying for you — and I can’t wait to see how God moves through this journey together.
