"Thank you for this podcast. It has been such a blessing in my discipling of others and myself.
I listen to it every time I take my dog for a walk and it’s the best part of the day. The
‘rev the word’ episodes are my favorite. The gift that Alisa has to teach matches my learning style and I am just so grateful."
