Customer Reviews
Best Come Follow Me Podcast!
This podcast is incredible. I love the scholarly insights into the scriptures. I have learned so much over the years. So grateful for all those putting their time and testimonies into this. 🩷
Excellent
I love how they bring scripture scholars to help enrich understanding. Having different ones each week helps keep the discussion fresh and interesting. The overall discussions they have bring out topics much better than one person alone could do. The focus is always on Christ and how to be better disciples of Him. Overall outstanding podcast. Thank you!
Great Insights and Knowledge
I appreciate so much what John and Hank and their guests share, I’ve been listening while I go walking pretty much since they started and I love it all! Often I wish I was home so I could take notes! (I have to say Lily has been one of my favorite guests, oh my goodness! Y’all should share when her book comes out!)
