This is the Mosaic Life Podcast—through sharing stories of amazing individuals, both new and familiar, the Mosaic Life Podcast uncovers the shared humanity within all of us–and the transformative power of God to redeem it for His glory. It turns out, that all of our stories are woven together with broken pieces, but God has a habit of gathering those pieces together and creating a masterful mosaic.

We are going to explore how our guests have come to the place of knowing the assignment on their lives and how they navigate the challenges and victories that come with doing good works.
