  • Impactful and formative each and every week.

    Adam’s podcast has become one of the most influential and impactful parts of my daily life. Not only does he speak my language, but each and every week I learn more about my faith, understand more about how to express and share my faith, and become more solid in my faith. Making Sense of Faith impacts my life in ways no sermon or book ever has.

  • A Blessing to Me

    Pastor Adam's teachings have been a blessing to me for the past 18 years. I still listen to his sermons and podcasts after moving away from the Kansas City area in 2010. His teachings have walked me through some very difficult times and have grown my faith, and I'm so grateful.
