[@vacountry921]

My son was born with a cleft pallet , these kids are are tough as nails. I've met phil twice,and 2 weeks ago was introduced to jersey Joe at the unashamed Bible study. God put together the "A team" of inspiration for my family and I. You've helped my son keep his chin up, helped me be consistent in my faith, and I can't thank you enough.

Phil is spreading the gospel like no other. I'm just a Canadian prairie girl from Saskatchewan, watching and learning from every single podcast. Phil is such a great listener. When guests come on and share something meaningful, Phil it is obvious you are listening to hear. This is the biggest gift we can give each other when someone shares something meaningful with us

[@TheRussiansDidIt]

The caliber of people you guys have as guests is phenomenal.... thanks for having "Real" people on...

[@brianshroyer8473]

my heart breaks for Mia…

[@GgFffh-jy3lm]

I know how come those kids overseas only need one surgery or two at most?? They create only patients now.

[@tcliveaction4803]

So ever since 9/11 happened day or night I will glance at my phone and the time is 9:11! That has been happening to me for 22 years now! In 2008 I got married l, my wife has polysistic ovaries so we can't have children. In 2011 we brought home our firstborn from Taiwan when he was 5 months old. A couple years later we brought our second son home from South Korea when he was 3 years old. Fast forward to 2022 SURPRISE my wife gets pregnant!!! It's a boy born 2 days after Christamas. My wife had an emergency c section. The doctor holds up the baby boy and says time of birth 9:11am Dec 27th 2022. Just thought I'd share that story. God is good. Healthy baby boy. What a great podcast Jersey Joe definitely needs to be on more!!!

[@gigibeauchamp]

Brother, Hallelujah! Praise God for the blessings Our Father has blessed you with!!! 🙏💯

My daughter was born in 2009 and she knows what happened on 9-11-2001. Our pastors wife passed away on 9-11-21 and it just seems extra sad. When you hear 9-11 you immediately think of all the people that died that day

Joe, I just wanted to praise your presentation with the focus on the lord and why and how we do what we do.
