I don’t even like podcasts, but I love this! Awesome messages!
I have been listening to the podcast since it started and have felt like I’ve been connected to the Reed family in a whole new way. I’ve found myself in tears at times listening to the previous two episodes that have been made since Kaleb’s passing. But God is showing His power and glory through the Reed family and is sustaining them during this season.

I started listening to the podcast when Erik and Brett started back in January and got the chance to meet Erik at NGU Fuge this past July. This podcast continues to be encouraging to me in my own trials. Total worth the listen!!
These guys are awesome! Helpful even if you aren’t (currently) in times of suffering. Helps prepare you and loved ones with a healthy theology of suffering as you learn from their stories and especially promises from God’s word that we cling to. Can’t recommend it enough! Erik & Brett are biblical, funny, down to earth, and care about us! Check it out!...especially if you’re in Wyoming!
