Robbiejamesh ,

its lovely.

i’ve struggled for years to find a resource that gives me options for ways to think about God. Someone shared this podcast with me and it’s been the most liberating space to come, learn, and walk away with new ways to think about God. Thank you.

Best christmas cd EVER! ,
