The Same Boat
by Roy Kim
I started this podcast because I felt like the Christian podcasts out there were not relatable. My life was messy and I wanted a podcast that was messy. I wanted stories from people that reflected the real things we go through in life, like abortion, divorce, and fury at God. This podcast is for the rest of us. You're not alone. There are others in the same boat as you.
