So refreshing

When I found the LTN podcast I thought to myself, “Wow. This is exactly none of the things that exhaust me about institutional church”. Real life Jesus impacting real lives of people in real life places. Each story-telling episode is absolutely edifying.

Where Gospel Meet Pornography

I stumbled upon this episode in TGC and I absolutely fell in love with this podcast. Great content and great production quality. Very hip and very cool! I think it’ll really draw in all kinds of crowds, especially young people.
