Amazing

I have been hooked on these podcasts from the beginning, and have listened to them multiple times. Justin is an amazing story teller. His research gives insight into the historical surroundings, bringing you right inside the story. I have learned SO much and have gained new perspectives. I’ve gone to my Bible and reread the accounts. This podcast has been inspiring and a true blessing to me.
