This is my favourite ‘go to’ podcast, to help supplement my scripture study each week. John and Hank are absolute legends & they have the best guests too. Always super insightful & I would recommended the podcast to anyone who wants to take a little bit more of a deep dive into their come follow me study ♥️

Great addition to Come Follow Me study!
