Daily Dose

I listen to this podcast daily, either in the morning whilst getting ready, or in my drive to work. Fascinating and enlightening - I look forward to hearing the sweet sound of host Dan VV telling me what interesting things happened on this day in ages past. Great podcast, great message!

Terrific way to begin each day

Thanks to Dr. Dan Van Voorhis for his amusing, interesting, curious, and even outrageous perspective on Christian history. His selections of readings, poems, and hyms from the Christian tradition is widely varied and always engaging. Everything is going to be OK!

New morning routine

Some familiar, some obscure - all interesting - I love starting my day with these historical moments, and the readings at the end can turn even the worst mornings around!
