This is a great Podcast. I've been listening to becoming something for awhile now after friend in troduced me to it. it has been great to listen to in my car whenever I have free time. it has been great to hear them speak the word into questions that I have had. In this episode especially. I have been struggling with a "soul ttie" to someone for a long time. this episode has helped me realize why I have been. I'm very thankful for it! Continue to speak God's Word into topics that people deal with. God bless you all!
