Forces that Move Us

I love learning about things happening in the world that I would never know about had someone not brought them to me. A friend shared this podcast with my family and I am really loving it! The speaker’s voice is warm and inviting and crystal clear. The music is wonderful (playlist please!) And the information shared needs more people to hear!!!
