Inspired to hear how God is working in the Metro Washington region

This podcast gives me a picture of how big and good God is. I love to learn the impact that is possible when the Church mobilizes and collaborates together. I often takeaway ideas I can apply in ministry or just pass on to others.The hosts do a great job keeping the show on track and interesting within an informal ‘coffee shop’ conversation feel.
