Reviews

4.6 out of 5 stars from 25 ratings
  • Title

    The stories aren’t horrible but the way it’s read is unbearable. I can watch lectures on YouTube about the most random topics but couldn’t listen to this. And I appreciate religion and prayer but the episode about the lady who was addicted to drugs and got passed it through prayer is wild. Like there aren’t millions of drug addicted people out there who pray every day for the power to stop but can’t. (Never written a bad review before so sorry if it’s mean. God bless)

  • Pleasant uplifting stories

    I enjoy this podcast. I wish each one included more stories or that each podcast was longer.

    Note the podcast about lost cat returns home with debt only has background music and no story.

Q: How has the work of Samaritan's Purse impacted your faith personally?
It's amazing. It changes my faith every day. Every time I get to go to work and hear these stories, you know, I just come home to the kids, listen to this, because again, sometimes we have no idea what it's like to lose everything.
