Stories are important because they are meaningful, and they are meaningful because they are memorable, powerful, and they are personally connect us with each other.

In this podcast, we take names, faces, hopes, and dreams of people of all walks of life.

We are diverse with ages and races.

You will have the opportunity to hear these stories in their own words.

We believe your story and God's story will intersect with the stories of others.

God's story is revealed through scriptures.

Your story is revealed through experiences. Their story is revealed through experiences. Their story is

revealed in life events. Our hope is that through this podcast, we will recognize that God
