  • Expensive podcast

    I do not know why but they keep asking for money without telling us all these “expenses that persist?” It is free to podcast and call people. Would appreciate godly transparency. They have not responded to inquiries about this. If they want to get paid for doing this then they should just say so openly.

    Other than that the podcast has been helpful to hear biblical perspectives from my brethren.

  • Good Conversations

    Being able to talk with these older and wiser Christians has been such an encouraging experience. Hopefully, others will get as much value by listening as Jake and I have received by talking. May the gospel of Christ be glorified.
