Customer Reviews
Life enhancing podcast!
I have struggled with being overly assertive, situationally combative, inpatient, reacting in anger etc... for years now! I have been constantly trying to surround myself with literature, podcasts, scripture and prayer to try and change this about me! I have always gone to church and always have believed in God since birth, but realistically I’m in the infancy of being a practicing Christian. Being a Christian is not just something you say you are (like I used to think), i’ts a verb-an action! I have been actively working on my relationship with God for over a year now and it’s just amazing how much richer my life is because of it! However, I still struggle with the above mentioned personality that has been engrained in me for some time now. I have been praying for God to help me see what it is that I need to do to change and as I was looking for a new inspiring podcast to listen to, I came across this one! I listened to the episode in “Pacifism” and it was EXACTLY what I needed! God brought this to me, and I could not be more thankful! Thank you for producing such life changing/enhancing podcasts for Christians like me who are detoxing from their old ways and transforming into God’s way! God bless you!!
Beautiful and Great!
Please keep going with this podcast. I am humbled. I needed to hear this as a reminder of who I am in Christ and how actions speak louder then words. Thank you
Inspirational and story-like
One thing that Neal does so well is find stories and help tell them and share their meaning. Not only will you hear inspiring stories on this podcast, but you’ll take immense meaning and life application away with you. This podcast functions like modern day parable sharing, but with real life examples. Looking forward to continuing to follow!
