MOMENTS
WITH MARA

You are well known to God, whether you know Him or not.

My passion and mission is sharing truth to set the captives free. You may think you're already free, but if you're striving to please people, to keep up, to measure up, to achieve this or that goal; if you're fretting, worrying, stressing, bound up in anxiety, and feel...

A Story of Relentless Love and Unworthy Redemption.

In the Gospel of Matthew 4:4 Jesus says, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”
