Thoroughly enjoy listening to the genuine interviews from the guest speakers. It’s great to hear what they have to say about Christ as well as hearing the advice they would give their “young adult” self. Very good listen every week! Highly recommend!

True authentic conversations

This ministry has been a huge part of my life for the past 5 years and this podcast only continues to encourage me! It’s great for those who have known Christ their whole lives, or those who are just beginning their faith walk. I can’t say enough good things about the hosts, the guests, or the community around it! Would recommend to anyone and everyone—no matter the age!

So so good!!
