Love - Heather Zempel | God is inherently relational. Existing eternally as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, God lives in community with, in, and of Himself.

Customer Reviews
Great Content, slow updates
The material is great and very thought provoking so that is not the issue. It just takes a month sometimes for the new podcast to appear. If you are looking for a weekly update, this is not the best podcast in that regard. Often worth the wait though.
Real deal
Got all of Marks books- this ministry is SOLID biblical teaching. - sometimes the podcast is slow updating, but well worth adding a subscription. You'll be blessed by God soeaking through NCC.
Great Preaching
Mark Batterson has a lot of great insight that God has given him. Listen, learn, and love God and people.
