The Strength of Samson

Heather Crespin

About this episode

The strongest human in the Bible... physically. He didn't always have the best self-control, but God had an important plan for him from the very beginning. I find myself asking a lot of questions about this story. Let's all pray for discernment when hearing or reading it.We are reading Judges 13 through 16.
