Soldiers of Christ
The Soldier of Christ podcast is a podcast for all people from all different backgrounds. This is not your typical Christian podcast this podcast yes does talk about God but I also talk about life and real struggles like addictions, self doubt, lacking faith, brokenness, doubt in God, the reality of this world and more. This podcast is not a podcast to tell you just because you believe in God that all your problems will go away or it will be easier no the fact is life is tough and it’s hard but it’s worth it because our darkest times reveal who we really are and what we are truly capable of.
