“For the love of Christ compels us, since we have reached this conclusion: If one died for all, then all died. And he died for all so that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for the one who died for them and was raised.” – 2 Corinthians 5:14-15
A Labor of Love.
Our team spends 40+ hours creating every single episode. We use professional editing, sound effects, music, and voiceover narration. While we’d love to record every story we hear about, time and financial restrictions require us to select the stories we think will best serve our audience.
Suggest a Story.
Stories have immense power to shape, strengthen, and compel us. One way we tangibly see God’s love displayed is through the stories and testimonies of other believers.
We would love to hear from you.
