"Living the Multiplied Life"
 
Marilyn   – “You hit the nail on the head. Perfectly describes me. I’m so happy and thankful for this. It’s like you’re my minister. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
Jennifer   – “Following your podcast on Spotify, Buddy! I’ve been looking for a new sermon series, and this will be it.”
Bill   – “I have found your podcast Feeding the Flock. One of the things that [my wife] and I really enjoyed and have missed so greatly is the teaching that we received from Neighborhood Bible Fellowship. This year, as you know, we are still homeschooling [our son] and we were looking for a study program to get him involved in the Bible. [My wife] came up with having him listen to teaching from a well-known "Preacher". As we were discussing this, I said I had the perfect "Preacher" in mind and we decided to have him start with your series on Philippians. I am so excited that he gets to sit under your teaching as we have. We are blessed to have this opportunity. I wanted you to know that you are still having an effect on my family.”
