  • Episode 49

    I started listening to these stories a few weeks ago and was really loving them, until I listened to Episode 49. In this episode Ron marries a “MAN” named Don. I can’t listen anymore. This is not biblical.

  • Always excited to see the green square!

    My entire family has been blessed by this podcast. Paul always points to Christ and how He is working in the lives of the believers he interviews. My teenage daughters enjoy the testimonies too, and it’s a safe way for them to be introduced to more adult issues from a biblical perspective.
