Great balance of entertainment

I never thought I would be going to visit a church and attending a camp out in the woods because of a podcast. I love the little takeaways I get from so many different walks of life. These guys are always bringing new relative exciting new things to challenge us.

Helps with my anxiety

My mom introduced me to the podcast a few months ago and it has been a huge help. Was having major anxiety and trouble sleeping. I don’t know if it’s the background music, his voice, or just everything all together but it actually is calming. If you don’t like this particular podcast I recommend you find one that suits you if you’re struggling. It does help truly.

Can’t sleep without I!

Found this in 2018 when I had to work 3am and couldn’t get to sleep no matter what. I helped me sleep. My body just naturally resists rest.

Fast forward 2023 and my body associates this with peace… peace in the Lord. Stillness. Rest. I can always sleep when I turn this on.
