Tony and Shaine are stunning in their beautiful simplicity of following Jesus with everything we have. If Jesus intrigues you or is at all important to you, please listen to this podcast!

Great content

Thank you for putting fragile but important issues out there for discussion. We can’t serve in His kingdom without those conversations!

Father Richard Rohr episode - Great!

The only thing that would’ve made this podcast episode better would be having Father Richard Rohr on with you. Then I would listened to three of my favorite people on earth, together at one time! Be Well! Well done! Please keep up the great work Shane and Tony!
