Divinely Guided

It’s amazing to hear such a powerful voice being used on a platform specifically designed for hearing the messages we need. This podcast draws on current topics as well as revolving issues that we need to focus on. Malachi uses his youth as well as his call in oration to pull in a vast array of listeners. His tone when speaking demands attention throughout the duration of each episode. I am thrilled to be supporting an amazing person, and an even better podcast. Very proud. Keep going!
