This podcast aims to be a source of positive, productive and ultimately, REAL conversation that encourages and motivates you to achieve your highest self along with developing a stronger relationship with God. The hosts hope to use this platform as a way to relate and give practical steps for those Christians experiencing real life (which is all of us) .
