  • A gift from Above

    I enjoy listening every morning to this podcast. Some mornings I don’t want it to end. It is So inspiring and helpful in my daily walk with Christ. JD has a way with words and the warmth of his (Gods)message is simple, gentle and impactful. I have also enjoyed all the guest speakers and friends that join the podcast throughout the year. Can’t say enough good about the Seedbed team and all the work they are doing. I would Definitely recommend the WakeUp Call to everyone.
