An honest podcast to help you live closer to God. Formerly the Ministry Staff Podcast.
Honest. Real. A little raw. All about practical christian living. Down to earth, everyday principles for living your best.
Before the foundations of the world, God laid out the example of forgiveness. In this podcast we take a look at that, and how we live it out in our lives today.

What pulls on your soul? Entices you? Distracts you from righteous living? Are there treasures in your past that you have let go of?
