Because of her late shift, Fidel is unable to attend the local ESL class. If you know of someone who is certified to teach English, please email info@centraltolife.com.

The Bible Year

THE BIBLE YEAR PODCAST

In this episode of It's Not Complicated, we’re bringing the laughs while diving into the lesser-known but deeply impactful books of the Old Testament. Join us for a lighthearted, yet insightful commentary on the prophetic writings of Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi. These prophets may have delivered some heavy messages, but we're here to find the humor and wit that might just fly under the radar.
