@mountainbadger ,

Great

Great Way to start t day We’ve been struggling w God & each other All along t Way Yet we find that in, w & under Christ Everything’s going to be OK Happy Anniversary! Your wife is a treasure & Sam is great! Thanks for straightening out the whole Friar Tuck badger thing us badgers get no respect Loving the weekend shows and still loving the daily shows too Harriet Tubman was especially enlightening This particular weekend edition November 19, 2022 is as good as it gets.deep dive into a topicThat everyone knows about but actually knows very little about.thank you, both entertaining and informative
Your faithfulness and consistency are reminiscent of Lou Gehrig,Henry Aaron, Cal Ripken Junior and of course Trufflehunter

All Christians are part of Christian History

A good reminder and but if encouragement that there are Christians from all over the world who have lived their life for the faith.

Librarian Grace ,

So much to learn!

I listen to this every single day! I have learned so much!
