Customer Reviews
Broad Appeal - Great Interviews
Ok, Bob does say his podcasts are for a niche market, but I think he’s cutting himself a little short. These are great discussions about our faith and the people who dedicate their lives to living their faith for others - that is just inspiring. Great thought provoking content that’s very approachable and applicable. I listened to all the podcasts in just a couple days. I can’t wait for the next episode! Thanks Bob for doing this and to listening to God’s call!!
Long over due
