Apple Podcasts5Reggie820United States20 days ago - Afterlife Changing
I started this almost a year ago on my daughter’s recommendation and have missed only 2 days, which I quickly made up. This is a great way to learn or to relearn scripture and reconnect or stay better connected to the Lord. Many podcasts can claim to be life changing but only a few can claim to afterlife changing. Thank you to Fr Schmitz and his team! AMDG!!
