    I've just discovered these podcasts and started listening whilst jogging, folding my family's washing, cleaning the house and gardening! I love the teaching, news bits and faithful application of God's word. The Holy Spirit can move you anywhere and anytime if your heart is listening - even pulling out thistles! Thank you SMBC for providing free and faithful preaching for all to hear.
