The Christian walk is not meant to be dull, tiresome, or unwelcoming, because of the love Jesus has expressed to us, life is richer, sweeter, and filled with excitement, joy and laughter. This podcast is designed to remind us of the joy that comes from living your life for Jesus. We will discuss important topics, share stories, and have a little banter as well.
On this Episode of Heavenly Banter, I have the pleasure of having pastor of Daybreak Church, Eric Jacobs. We discuss fun childhood memories as he discusses the dynamics of growing up with a very large family. We then discuss where Eric and I see the Church missing the mark in our day and age. I hope you enjoy and are encouraged!

Trailer
At Heavenly Banter Podcast, we will aim to have both meaningful and relatable conversations about everyday Christian life. While their will be space for those deep talks, we promise to keep things light, fun, and short!
A little about me... I am 25 years old and I currently work as a Physical Education teacher, I live in Pennsylvania with 3 close friends in a house toghether, who you will hear more from! I started this podcast because I have been blessed with incredible community in my life and through this I have learned about the fullness of life found through genuine relationships but more importantly through a life centered on Christ. I used to think that Christianity was judgemental, strict, and utlitemately boring... I have come to find that the opposite is true and my desire is that through our honest and open conversations listeners will see that the Christian life is actually the most fulfilling life you could ever live!
