The Test - (Dr. Elder. Carlene Lacey) (September 20, 2026)
Summary
This episode features a sermon from The King's Healing Room addressing the spiritual "test" of raising children and navigating life's challenges.

Drawing on scriptures like Isaiah 44 and the Prodigal Son, the message emphasizes trusting God's timing and finding rest in His word. The segment concludes with a call to action for tithing and giving to support the ministry.
