30: Letting go the Strings: Pastor Billy Alley Part 2

About: 

Join Riah Jaffrey for a podcast series where we draw on our personal stories, examine the truth of God’s word, and identify the lies, false identities, and unbiblical beliefs that keep us from walking whole heartedly in the power of our new life through the gift of Grace in Jesus. Join us as we share what it is to walk in relationship with Jesus; where we discover new life in death and step into the supernatural power of God’s Grace and Glory.

Riah is the host of the Grace Raised Podcast and visionary for the Grace Raised Ministry. She spends her free time raising ducks, writing poetry, and caring for her community alongside her husband of 13 years, and four children. Though she has spent the last 20 years studying scripture and is a graduate of the Rock School of Ministry, it was not through academia she came to know the heart of Christ. She discovered her living relationship with Him not in the books and religious studies but through great loss, hardship, and heartbreak.

"I would rather have nothing and have Jesus; for even the greatest treasures of this world are meaningless compared to Christ. In Him, there is fullness of joy and glory beyond all imagination."
