  • Informative grace

    As a new Pastor, I am intrigued and interested in this topic and this podcast gave me some insight as to my next steps. Also, as someone who practiced Islam for years and who witnessed my own father, take a pilgrimage to Mecca I know the importance of loving your neighbor, and strive to live it out. Grateful

  • So helpful and practical

    I’ve been listening since the beginning and it continues to be an amazing resource with super practical tips and helpful new/different paradigms. It’s also helped build up the number of communicators I’m listening to and learning from month to month. If you preach with any regularity, make sure this podcast is in your rotation.
