  • Great Show! Great Host!

    10 Star if they would allow me to give. This show is one that transcends genres. It is inspiring, hope filled, and emotional. Jenny does a great job interviewing the guest, allowing them to talk, and pulling the emotions out. At the center, though, is the hope that is offered from Christ Jesus.
