Pleasant Baptist ChurchWe live in a world where image is everything. Where people have great lives on social media and at church or work and are miserable in real life. This podcast was created with the mission to get below the surface and truly help someone. Not just skin deep but truly increase the quality of life for the listeners. We will have uncomfortable conversations, address messy topics, and perhaps even offend some with the purpose of giving our listeners the tools to live their best life and to the fullest.

Pleasant Baptist ChurchThe Holiday Season: Joy, Grief, and ConnectionThe Holiday Season: Joy, Grief, and ConnectionThe holiday season frequently carries with it societal pressure for happiness and togetherness, which can be particularly demanding for those facing grief or isolation. During this podcast, we consider how to foster a holiday culture that is more inclusive and empathetic, one that recognizes and respects the diverse range of emotions people might be going through.

We share, we laugh, we encourage, we pray. Join us for this fireside chat.
