  • Beautiful Podcast

    As others have said, simple format - piece of music, followed by a scriptual explanation..

The music is always ouder than the speech - fine if I'm sat in front of my PC, but difficult if I listen whilst out walking.

  • Thank you!

    I am very grateful this podcast exists. Dr Wells has produced an excellent program of music and commentary from which I learn and which I enjoy at the same time at a deep spiritual level. Important to me now because I am in my fourth week of hospitalisation for Covid.

    Behold what few has given

    What notes and song reveal

    That words alone cannot impart

    A lonely soul is healed.

    And not by scientific art

    By forgiveness, nay more

    Brought near!

    The enemy is unbound

    Set free!

    Forever tied to Christ’s own heart.
