better than we thought

Better Than We Thought is a podcast that focuses on how our relationships with God, ourselves, and others can be so much better in light of the Gospel. 
Practically, we talk about how the Gospel applies to issues like identity, marriage, dating, parenting, addiction, trauma, and more. 
Our hope is that our listeners will discover that their day-to-day lives can be so much better than they ever imagined because of what the Good News about Jesus really speaks over their lives.
