  • Compassion

    I have been so blessed and challenged by this podcast the last seven months.

    P.S. Jim, I decided to sponsor a compassion child because of the last episode. I didn’t know there was a link through you, and I wanted you to add me to the total number of children sponsored. We picked a young girl who has the same birthday... more

    I found this podcast a few months ago and have binged listen to it to get caught up. I caught up today. It has really helped me reignite my passion for Jesus and serving him wholeheartedly. I’ve recommended this podcast to several of my friends. Keep up the great kingdom work. I’m looking forward to future episodes. Nathan B.
