About Testimonies

From the publisher's feed

In this podcast, I interview friends of mine about their life-long journeys of pursuing God and God's relentless pursuit of them. All of my guests have authentic, dynamic relationships with God and have had life-changing encounters with Him. We go deep into the details of what their lives were like before encountering God, how exactly God drew them into a personal relationship with Him, what the key turning points were in their spiritual journey, and what transformations have taken place in their lives as a result of knowing God.
