WEZE 590: Alex Canavan interviews Dr. Roberto Miranda
WEZE 590 general manager Alex Canavan recently interviewed Dr. Miranda. Listen as Dr. Miranda explains his dream of the Lion of Judah hovering over Boston, a vision that prompted pastor Miranda to move his church from Cambridge to Boston and to rename it 'Congregation Lion of Judah'. Dr. Miranda points out the authoritative, regal dimension of Jesus as the 'Lion of Judah' in addition to being the 'Lamb of God'.

Lee writes: "We will publish articles that will be relevant. We will be providing a newspaper that will be 'fun' as well as spiritual.
