Christy & Kristen talk about how God always keeps His promises, starting from the first prophecy in Genesis 3 and continuing to God's covenantal promise signaled by the rainbow that we see even today. They discuss the conditional nature of many of God's promises, how we can experience promised rest & peace even during trials in this life, and the promises that were made to Mary before she became the mother of Jesus.
