  • Great Encouragement

    It’s not as glitzy or catchy as other podcasts, but it is not trying to be. Whereas other podcasts are using gimmicks to catch your attention so that listeners will buy something, this podcast is simple, straight forward and delivers helpful content. As an aspiring pastor (read: not yet), I find myself emboldened by the guests and topics. Definitely worth a follow.
