Marina introduces each chapter by sharing how the Bible story has personally impacted her and taught her about God, how we can all relate to these stories, and how God used each story to inspire Marina and give her hope at “just the right moment” through the trials and joys of her life.

Each weekly video is 6 to 7 minutes ad-free.
