DIG DEEP: Conversations with Christian Leaders
DIG DEEP: Conversations with Christian Leaders is a dynamic podcast inspired by the devotional DIG DEEP book series by Dr. Jaria C. Aljoe. This podcast brings together Christian leaders for real, transparent, and honest conversations that inspire and uplift.
So, what does it mean to DIG DEEP? It means being intentional about deepening your relationship with God. It’s recognizing that God is calling you higher while you’re on the right path. As we ascend in our walk with Him, we must also grow stronger—rooted and grounded in His Word.
Through every episode, you'll find conversations that inspire change and empower purpose-driven leadership.
