  • Refreshing food for the soul

    I listen every morning to scripture untangled, and I’m looking forward to more episodes in the future. It is a podcast that is uplifting and encouraging and focused on truth. Many other podcasts I’ve listened to have become cluttered with culture and competition. I love the fact that this is Canadian as well. Bravo Canadian Bible Society, Bravo!!
