Refreshing

Stumbled across Johnathan’s podcasts and after listening to all of them over the last couple of weeks, I find myself being hungry for more of his authentic perspectives and those of his guests through another season.

Happy Accident

I stumbled upon Jonathan’s podcast and am so delighted by the content and conversations. These are things that the church should be talking about. Thank you, Jonathan!
