  • Fantastic!

    These testimonies are a wonderful way to encourage yourself in the faith and to start “sharing” conversations. “Hey, man. I just heard this podcast about… I really think you’d like it.” And then let God take over!

  • Love the Show

    This is the first pod cast that has said something about Charlie Kirk’s death and I wanted to thank you for that! I think it is something that will change the way a lot of people see things and maybe will start to speak out more about their faith to everyone they meet!!
