Customer Reviews
Engaging Conversations
The first few episodes of this podcast have been really engaging and share sound wisdom on leading house churches. The guests seem really authentic and have done a great job of avoiding the “know-it-all”/“my-way-or-the-highway” attitude you tend to hear on some leadership podcasts. They just seem like genuine people sharing their experiences and trying to help others live and lead better for Jesus.
