Finally! A Nicky Podcast!!

I’ve heard Nicky interview leaders for years at HTB and at the Leadership Conference. He asks questions in such a way that helps you, the audience, see the best in that person. I always leave wanting to know more about the persons life and work. His approach is honoring, humble, and it builds up the whole of the Church. I’m so happy he now has a podcast!!

Eager to hear more

I was not familiar with Nick Gumbel prior to listening but I must say after the first episode I was eager to hear more! The conversations are thought provoking, challenging, and encouraging.
