It’s about getting close enough to save lives. 30 minutes. Real stories. Real hope. If your faith nev... more

I love this podcast. As a Pantano attendee, every week each episode is a dose of joy for me. I feel as one of your very first listeners, I get to know you all more and more each week.

This weeks episode made me appreciate our 15 years of friendship and how blessed I am to have someone like her in my life. From the crazy party girls we were, to growing in Christ, our journey is... more
My hubby and I listen together every week. The recap and clarification to the sermon on Sunday helps to reinforce or clarify what we thought we heard. And leads to more discussion, usually about Christ but occasionally we get derailed…. Insert train whistle!
Entertaining, Interesting, and Inspiring
I look forward to listening every week and it gives a real and authentic recap of the teaching on Sunday.
