March 21 Devotion: Jessie Robinette

The Open to Explore Devotions podcast is produced by First Baptist Church of Athens, Georgia. Season 8 begins Monday, February 19 and offers daily devotions Monday through Friday during the season of Lent. The devotions are personal stories given by members and come from their personal life and journey in faith. Real people sharing their joys and sorrows, doubts and convictions, fears, hopes, and gratitude. The hope is that their insights will bring inspiration, encouragement, and discovery to others.
