Father Bill W. Has been invaluable in my life. I had so much religious trauma, that I couldn’t open my heart. Through two years of listening to every episode I could get my hands on. He lead me to God through history and a deep dive into who God is. I’m hanging on because as of his openness to explore world religions and how they affect us all. I feel like I’m part of the worlds again🙏❤️🩹🙏

I love how Father Bill breaks down things about the 12 step program. His voice is so nice to listen to and I am learning new things after many years in recovery. Great little history lessons about the program. Also 2 way prayer does work and you can keep it simple!

I so look forward to the richness of Father Bill’s podcasts each week. The books he leads us through, the wonderful guests he interviews and the rich history he shares, both his own and AA’s, are always inspiring. He always helps me, as does the practice of Two Way Prayer, go from my often misguided thoughts to listening to the Great Reality Within —to the truth within my heart. Thank you Father Bill!!
