    "We live in a generation that is more focused on posting about Jesus than actually knowing Him. What would life look like if talking about Jesus and serving others came from the overflow and not a way to feel better about ourselves? The Bible tells us the key to this kind of peace," a description on Spotify reads. The Secret Place Podcast is the thoughts, ideas, and revelations God gives me in my time with Him. Are you ready to go deeper?"
