I will be your Church
A devotional style podcast. Spend time with The Church. Siblings, Ben and Joanna Church that is! Join us for the I will be your Church podcast to discover a scripture (or two), discussed and applied to growing in relationship with God, understanding who we are in His purpose for the universe, and how to live our faith in the world today! With Ben you get a more traditional approach to the scriptures, and Joanna brings her poetic, inquisitive nature to her quest for spiritual authenticity. Together they bring real conversations about God to their listeners. Now go out and say to your friends, families, co-workers, and social media worlds: "I will be your Church!"
