Customer Reviews
Phenomenal
Brother P, thanks for putting this together! It's a brilliant idea. All of the podcasts do justice to portraying the committed discipleship and blooming talent of the members in the University Ward. If the Ward were a university, this would be the best long distance recruiting tool ever! Keep up the phenomenal work.
Inspiring, Enlightening, and AWESOME
This podcast is such an incredible idea - already in the first six episodes I feel like I have learned so much - about everything from the dynamics of ethnicity and religion in southern India to the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, from the events and backgrounds that shaped the youth of Joseph Smith Jr. to the power of Wikipedia to serve as a tool in spreading the gospel. :) More than anything, this podcast is reminding me, once again, how incredible the members of the Cambridge University Ward are; y'alls' incredible diversity, rich experiences, complex worldviews, passionate ambitions, and powerful testimonies are both enlightening and inspiring. I'm feelin' the love. :D And thanks to Brother Petrey for putting all of this together -- this is so incredible!
