  • Review for Amanda

    Amanda has a unique way of interviewing guests starting where we all begin— at childhood. She listens to how God weaves himself through the story of the interviewee and how the listener can apply these truths in their own lives. I like how she starts with prayer before each podcast asking the Holy Spirit to reveal and do his work. Often things pop up in the interview that were not planned, bringing new insights, cause that’s just how the Holy Spirit works!
