I have learned so much.

Steven does not shy away from sensitive topics and it has been so enlightening to listen. He has a soothing voice and his love for the gospel and our Savior is evident with each episode. Do yourself a favor and listen, you will not be disappointed. I’m glad he came back after a bit of a break, I was worried we wouldn’t get more of this amazing podcast.
