Words Are Golden Podcast
Hey there! I’m Allyson Golden, and welcome to the Words Are Golden Podcast. I hope that as you listen, the Spirit will open your eyes and deepen your understanding of Scripture in new ways. If you’re hungry for Truth that transforms and not just “feel-good” faith, then this podcast is for you. I am an author, Bible-teacher, seminary student, dog mom, and your new friend, who gets how noisy the world can feel. I know how we have advice and opinions coming at us at all times. My heart is to remind you of God’s word that is alive and active and applicable to every moment of our lives, from the ordinary to the really hard stuff. The podcast is officially launching on July 28th!
