As you were discussing confession and its power., this verse jumped to mind. It has been very powerful in my life. “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”
James 5:16 NIV
Another excellent podcast. Week 2 is wonderful. Thank you.
