Amazing Podcast

Kirk your amazing. Your real, touching, and caring for all involved. You ask excellent questions to your guests and you help us understand ORDINARY PEOPLE and their feelings and how they have to face adversities without fortune or fame. So thank you. But the next powerful thing about your Podcast is that you show the truth about Jesus and even the problematic issues or situations in extraordinary people to ordinary people. Thank you we all need to produce fruit but cannot produce it unless it talked about first. Change cannot be made if we don’t teach the people the truth. So thank you for the TRUTH!
