What a beautiful way to redeem the time…

In this busy world, we don’t always have time to feed our soul beyond the time we hopefully spend with God each day.

Fortunately, Christian podcasts are available 24-hours a day. Easily accessed on my phone or computer, I love to play them in the car driving, doing housework or going for a walk.

In a sense, podcasts are multi-tasking for the soul!

Here are ten podcasts I enjoy. Access them on iTunes by clicking on the titles below, or search for them by title on your favorite podcast player (learn how here).
