Hey y'all, welcome back to the Confessions of a Crappy Christian Podcast.

A place where you and all of your crap are not just welcome, you're wanted.

I'm your host Blake Gieche, and every week I'm showing up with a new friend to talk about

My hope is that you walk away feeling empowered and not alone in your struggles, and that

works crazy hours, and how to break through the lies that enemy tells us and step into
