Customer Reviews
Much needed conversation!
Thank you all for putting these podcasts out there. I have been a member of the ICOC since 1989 and have seen many highs and lows within the restoration movements. I believe the Holy Spirit is bringing these conversations at such a vital time. Thanks 😎
Great listen
Wonderful conversations! They’re vital for bridging the gap between restoration churches.
