    I have been listening to open line for a very long time. I remember listening to it with Pastor Cole enjoying it immensely. I am still on milk apparently as a Christian even though I’m 54 years old. But it’s broadcast along with countless others from Moody Bible allow me to get great teachers and hear the Bible the way I would never be able to hear. I give this podcast 2 thumbs way up, five stars. I would give it 10 if I could. Lord praise Yahweh . Praise Yeshua praise the Holy Spirit. Amen
