Recently become familiar with John after reading his book steps several times it’s a very content dense book and it just very helpful. I was an Al-Anon years ago and those principles are just so good and anyway the book was great and I really like his condemnation thing I did during lent and anyway I really like listening to his little five minute blurbs and they’re just really helpful to help me abiding Christ, so thank you
This podcast helped change my mind and heart. It helped me align more accurately with the way of Jesus. It gave me freedom from strongholds in my mind and heart that I didn’t even know were there. Thanks for helping me in freedom and growth in Christ.
This is an excellent podcast, the only thing I would change is the numbering of the podcast episodes - very confusing and unusual, hard to follow.
John, Tim and the become new team help make a connection with God accessible by providing daily prompts and prayer for deepening our spirituality. Listening to the podcast daily has helped turn my attention towards hearing God’s voice and I couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you - a listener of 3+ years
I have been listening to this podcast for a couple of years. I find John’s humility and graciousness and wisdom and humour very compelling and motivating. I also enjoy hearing about and from his dozens and dozens of good friends. I am grateful for this podcast.
