About Our Studio

Hebrews 12:1 says, “Therefore, since we also have such a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let’s rid ourselves of every obstacle and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with endurance the race that is set before us,”

This cloud of witnesses has grown over the past 2000 years since Christ ascended to Heaven. There are so many incredible stories of Christians overcoming intense persecution, entangling sins, depression, poverty, plague, and so much more!

We want to bring their stories to you. For we believe you will hear them and be inspired to pursue Christ wholeheartedly when you hear about these faithful followers of God.

Don’t know if it deletes my prior comment about the discussion on violence on various episodes, including fracis drake. Thanks for your response to my original comment. I’m glad you’re going to discuss this further in the future. My th...

Love this Show

I love not knowing only hearing the precious sermons… which I would never have heard otherwise, but also the friendship, discussion and banter between Joel and Troy. Listening is like being drawn into their friendship. Very sweet and wonderful.
