The Heart's Cry

Uncovering the hidden tools on how to live our best life, IN REAL LIFE!

We live in a world where image is everything. Where people have great lives on social media and at church or work and are miserable in real life. This podcast was created with the mission to get below the surface and truly help someone. Not just skin deep but truly increase the quality of life for the listeners.

We will have uncomfortable conversations, address messy topics, and perhaps even offend some with the purpose of giving our listeners the tools to live their best life and to the fullest. Jesus came that we might have life and have it more abundantly. A great life is our portion. So, join us as we journey to uncover the hidden tools on how to LIVE OUR BEST LIFE, IN REAL LIFE!
