So often, we find ourselves sitting next to people in church—people with fascinating stories and incredible expertise—and yet we miss the chance to truly know them. What if we slowed down and took the time to hear how each of us spends our days, how we wrestle with life, and how God is working in our stories?

  • Compelling, transformative, genuine

    I love this podcast so deeply already. It is an opportunity to hear Christ’s divine presence among us in everyday people’s lives. To see the extraordinary infuse the ordinary as Christ comes along side us and reveals the good works he has prepared in advance for us to do (Ephesians 2:10). To heal and usher in the kingdom of God in his broken world through healing one person at a time. Keep them coming!
