  • So Good

    I love this podcast! It is full of stories of hope and transformation. It teaches us that through Christ all things are possible. When we turn to Christ and walk with Him we can overcome sins, weaknesses, bad habits, and addictions. We can become more forgiving, humble, patient, and joyful. This podcast gives me hope and helps me to understand how I can repent, improve, and minister to others. Truly the best!

    These stories have given me amazing perspectives as to why people may choose other paths, but eventually come back.
