Wonderful Conversations

Thoroughly engaging, interesting and inspiring conversations.

So Uplifting!

I just love this podcast and I’m delighted that I’m late to the party as it means I’ve been able to binge listen on car journeys or when running or doing the usual sports taxi runs for the family - fantastic wide selection of guests sharing their love of Jesus and desire to spread the good news and an accomplished host asking searching questions and with a measure of good humour where appropriate- 5 stars!
