This podcast has become a must listen for me. Fr. Jim is a great interviewer. Each conversation is a spiritual journey in their own way. I can’t thank the team enough for doing this show. I hope that it continues for years!
I didn’t know many of these guests and found the ones I didn’t know the most interesting especially those with formal training in scripture or religion. Every guest has surprised me with multiple ideas on how to live better in this complex world…and prepare for the next.
I find myself listening to previous podcasts, I’ve learn from all of them. It has really help me in my Spiritual Life Journey and building a relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ.
