Grateful I found you

I've recently become more focused on improving my health. And I know this more intentional journey involves a discipline that stems from my walk with Christ. Out of the thousands of podcasts on this platform, in less than 10 minutes, I found you with ease. I appreciate you adding scripture and I totally agree with your premise. Thank you for doing the work to even be on this platform and I pray that you continue to be the light for Christ as you serve others. ❤️ S. Davis
