Confessions of a crappy Christian is powered by the Converged Podcast Network.

Hey y'all, welcome back to another episode of the Confessions of a crappy Christian Podcast.

I'm your host and resident crappy Christian, Blake Giche, and I'm so pumped to be bringing you season two of this show.

Packed full of more people telling incredible stories of who God is and what he's done.

This week's episode is with author Janine Reed.

We are talking about the seasons of life that tend to throw us a curveball and then another curveball.

And how to navigate those things and know that God is still good in the waiting.

I can't wait for you to listen.

I don't know.
