  • The perfect way to start my day

    While I’m enjoying a pour-over in my mug, I’m also receiving one for my soul. The pour over is the perfect morning blend of the earthly and the heavenly.

    Each episode is steeped in Scripture, thoughtfully connecting God’s Word to today’s headlines and encouraging us to pray over the people and events shaping our world. It’s the perfect way to start my day.

  • First Timer

    I am a newbie and just listened to my first podcast. I must say, for the first time in a very long time, it was actually a joy listening to ‘the news’. Direct, concise and not overwhelming. I appreciate the shorter snippets with enough to keep me interested and more importantly informed all while keeping reference to, the word of God. Quite uplifting with the Jesus-centered news you offer. I look forward to the continued journey. Thank you very much so!
