    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.
