    If our lives tend to be the combination of the five people we hang out with, then I can’t help but be excited about the folks God has introduced me to through this podcast. As they delight in Christ while doing the work He has prepared, their joy brings further glory to God. The impact touches my family, my church, my business and my ministry locally and beyond.

  • The gift of giving

    So glad I found this podcast! What an encouragement to give it all up and be a living sacrifice for Jesus. Giving is one of life’s all time highs. I don’t have a bucket list just a goal to see how much I can consistently increase my giving before I die. LETS CHANGE THE WAY THE WORLD VEIWS THE CHURCH TOGETHER!
