When God Doesn’t Calm the Storm
“His first words to those apostles who were afraid after He rose from the dead are, ‘Peace be with you.’ That’s an occasion where He doesn’t calm the external storm, but He calms the internal storm that’s raging inside of them.” That was Gary Zimak, who joined John Morales on Morning Air to talk about...
