  • Hope for the Heart podcast

    This podcast is one of the most practical and yet inspirational ones I have come across. I enjoy the interchange of ideas between Haley and Dustin but most of all I appreciate their complete honesty and transparency with each other and their listeners. The Christian life is not always easy. It’s not meant to be. We cannot help and love each other if we pretend that we have no struggles.
