Customer Reviews
Refreshing and nourishing
As a 30-something member of the United Church I sometimes find it hard to feel ‘fed’ in a lot of congregations - but right now especially this podcast is exactly what I’ve been missing. Engaging, insightful, and nicely produced to boost. Grateful to have found it.
Sacred Space
My hour long commute, with its many challenges on certain days, has nonetheless become an opportunity to focus on the presence of the spiritual in my journey. Living Presence podcasts are a welcome guide centring my mind heading into each new week.
A breath of fresh air.
