The podcast that is definitely NOT what it says on the tin. If you are a furry Cavie owner seeking advice on your pets up and coming heart surgery, then this podcast is probably not what you are looking for.


But if you are fascinated by the innermost feelings and inclinations of the human heart from a Christian perspective, then why not listen in. In each episode I will interview Christians, who have volunteered to be my Guinea Pigs. There is a proverb that says “The mouth speaks what the heart is full of.” As we explore and dissect a particular event or period in their lives we will see if that proverb is true. Surgery is often not as straightforward as one would think, and sometimes there are no easy remedies.


Pull up your most comfortable consulting chair and grab your scalpel. It’s great to have your company.
