God Time: Daily Gospel reflections for those who want to be Saints!
It's exactly what the title says. Straightforward. I have a mic, a Bible, a few free minutes each day, and a heart that wants to bring as many of you to encounter Christ EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Let's not deceive ourselves into thinking we can grow in our faith without taking on the beautiful yet challenging grind of that daily encounter with the Lord. This podcast is a simple means (or excuse) to make that happen. Blessings!
