Slaking Thirsts

Religion EN ↓ 500 episodes

Slaking Thirsts is a podcast for those whose hearts ache, pine, hunger and thirst for more. With his dying breath, Jesus looked upon humanity and said, "I thirst." He thirsts that we would thirst for Him, and He is our thirst quenched. This podcast is meant to bring these two great thirsts into conversation, that thirsts would be slaked by love, intimacy, vulnerability and friendship with the LORD.
