Anna Claire Noblitt and Renee Jones conclude that we can trust the Holy Spirit to show us opportunities to lead and share that do not contradict God’s design for men and women in the church. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/anna-claire-noblitt/support

With the 2020 presidential election right around the corner, this episode serves as a short encouragement to see this time as an opportunity to reflect Christ in our communities.

As citizens of God’s kingdom first, we can point to the true King instead of idolizing political candidates. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/anna-claire-noblitt/support
