This is WEEK 1 of the 52 Weeks in the Word podcast - where you are invited to read the Bible, cover to cover, in 52 weeks.

Today, host Trillia Newbell is joined by Moody Radio's very own, Chris Brooks, for a conversation on how our reading and meditation on the book of Genesis can provide hope to broken families. Get in the Word so the Word can get into you. This is just the beginning!
