This podcast is all about helping you enjoy and grow in a better and intimate relationship with God and with people.And how this works is by you just asking me life, practical questions that are really bothering you and I'll give you answers & solutions from God's word and by his wisdom.And if there are questions that I feel other people are better suited to answer, still in line with God's will, I would call them up.The idea is that you leave here feeling light, unburdened, and free.
