Isaiah prophesied that God would send us a wonderful counselor, and those words were fulfilled in the life and death of Jesus. In this episode, Dot and Cara continue their Advent series by talking about what it means to know that God is “wonderful.” They also remind us that we’re all caught in a struggle between our flesh and the Spirit, and that God’s love is big enough to overcome even the worst sins and suffering.

What is Write this Down! with Dot Bowen?

Bible teacher, author and founder of Cup of Joy Ministries, Dot Bowen, teaches listeners what it truly looks like to know, love and follow Jesus. Each week, Dot invites you to sit down with her and her daughter, Cara, to have an authentic conversation about Biblical Scripture and God’s Truth. Their honest and thought provoking conversations are full of wit and wisdom which will have you diving deeper into God’s Word.

Whether Dot is teaching, speaking or simply grabbing coffee with a dear friend, she can often be heard saying with excitement, “Write this Down!” Her heart for the listener is to take the things she asks you to write down before the Lord and ask Him to open your eyes to His Truth and love. John 8:32 says, “and you will know the Truth and the Truth will set you free.”
