This Podcast Episode Will Make You Smile!

We all could use some good news, especially with everything that is going on with the pandemic. The Christian Heart Podcast is just the thing to make you smile. Each uplifting episode is just about 11 minutes long, and contains four stories of how everyday people show their love for Jesus and put their Christian faith into action.

A brand new episode in now available! Episode 13 tells the inspirational story of a real estate broker whose lost $10,000 check was returned by a homeless man and how that changed both their lives; a retired policeman who cried out to God after receiving a scary health diagnosis and got a clear message about starting a Bible study in a bar; a woman who opened a clothing closet to help foster care children and their families; and a lady whose ministry is taking meals to overwhelmed new parents.

Asking A Favor

May we ask for your help, and it has nothing to do with money!

We would like as many people as possible to see the inspiring stories on The Christian Heart and hear our podcast. These true stories are so encouraging and show how everyday people display their love for Jesus and put their faith into action. The 250+ stories are certainly a refreshing break from the troubled times we are all currently experiencing.

Being a ministry, we don’t have the money to get the word out with any type of advertising campaign.

That is where you can help in any number of ways.

Would you share The Christian Heart website with your friends? If a story or podcast episode moves you, would you send it to your contacts?

Would you like us on Facebook and follow us on Instagram?

If you’re a podcast listener, would you encourage others to listen to an episode of The Christian Heart Podcast and subscribe?

You sending information about The Christian Heart would certainly be a great way for our ministry to grow. We would be incredibly grateful for your help.

Thank you so much!
