    The Churches lane is everything because Jesus is our King. His love cannot be undone.

  • Adopt me please!

    I’ve yet to listen to an episode just once. Every single one is worth a re-listen, with a pen and notebook in hand. Simple. Practical. And always surprising- no one breaks open and brings to life the Gospel story like Father John and Mary! I wish I could move in with them and listen to their conversations all day, every day!
