Great Resource for Parents and Leaders
Jay is thoughtful and challenging in his podcasts. I am grateful for his influence on our lives over the years as a pastor and friend. Jay leads with his lifestyl, leading by example.....he shows you how to do life and love others and keeps it real and honest. He does not presume to have all the anwers as a parent or pastor, but rather helps you find your answers through a deeper walk with Christ. I challenge you to dig in to these podcasts if you want to be pushed and prodded to be the BEST person you can be In Christ! Thank you Jay for always pointing me to Jesus and to Grace!
