Crosbie Gong ,

Seriously helpful. Beautifully needed.

I praise the Lord God for Aspire! A platform for younger and older brothers and sisters to consider the great call of the Gospel, and the joys and challenges of following Jesus. I have been so impressed by how much territory has been covered in their conversations, and the constant considerations of a whole range of people in various contexts. It has sharpened my understanding of full-time vocational ministry, focused my mind on the dire need for kingdom lovers, and attuned my heart more deeply to Jesus’ care for his people.

Insightful and honest!

What a mad podcast! Loved every episode and I can't wait for season 2! I just got a mac and the first thing I am doing is jumping on to finally rate this podcast because it is that good haha.
Thanks be to God!
