Notes from Greenelsh

by Mark Greenelsh

In today’s superficial and often deceptive world we all need positive, encouraging truth to guide us, train us, and assure us. I find that truth in God and I try to pass it on. As a father and high school teacher I have had the opportunity to listen to, empathize with, advise, and challenge my children and my students. This podcast captures some of those interactions. Hopefully they benefit you also.I seek to be genuine and put the advice into practice by God’s grace and power. I pray the podcast blesses you and inspires you to become all God designed you to be. He wants your best. So do I.
