So helpful and encouraging

After 25 years as a medical social worker, I just started out in private practice. It is a bit overwhelming, but this podcast gives me so much encouragement. Every time I listen to it, it fits perfectly with one of the clients I am seeing. Thank you thank you thank you!

Always meets me where I am

I love that each episode is like balm for my soul. It meets me right where I am. Filled with practical advice but rooted and grounded in the Bible!

Chriscleoh ,

Thanking God!

Thanking God for this podcast. It’s been a bomb to my soul many times. Just listened to the episode with Zach regarding the fear of man and was convicted and yet deeply encouraged.
