Meaningful conversations beyond the music

I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability of the host and interviewees as they share about how music and worship brings people to the feet of Jesus in authentic ways. Love the laid back format and the guest selection.

I love how the first few interviews were with people that I grew up knowing in the Central Territory. Both from families that I admired but who would have ever thought that they went through valleys and came out even closer to Christ in their journeys. Both sharing the most intimate parts of their relationships with Christ, bringing such a profound message in their music.

I listen while I travel so I save them to hear later and Bonifields testimonies drew me to tears on the road!

Keep allowing the Lord to use you, Phil. So glad you put this together!
