This was an amazing episode. I was already a Comer fan and my husband and I have read his book. I have been wondering how 2020 has affected his outlook. This was encouraging, full of wisdom and totally relatable as I am in the same season of life that he is in. I’m sharing this with as many people as I can.
Thank you so much for listening and sharing the episode! John was such a joy to have in the studio, blessings!
This is one of the best Things Above podcasts (so far). I was just researching how to make a transcript from a podcast. You wouldn’t happen to have one would you?
Jim, thanks for listening and the feedback! We are creating transcripts for every episode, we hope to release them by the beginning of season 4 in August. We will let you know when they are available.
What a wonderful conversation – want to listen/share around this conversation with friends and with my children and grandchildren. I took five pages of notes and listened and re-listened to certain parts. This conversation is full of so many good things to consider – thank you!
Thank you, Susan!
