  • I continue to listen, every day, for years. Thank you! 🙏

    So appreciate this brief, daily overview, your Christian perspective and varied reporting! To God be the Glory! For years I’ve started the day by listening & praying, in combo w/ a couple other podcasts for diff news & view points. Largely, this pod is politically neutral -when possible- in a media world in which that is rare! Sadly, even in Christian-based sources.🙏
