Thank you for checking out my podcasts! They cover the same topics as my writing & everything comes from a Christian perspective. Check out my site for more information at www.CynthiaBaileyRug.com
Also, I hope to add more podcasts fairly often, but due to my own mental health struggles, they may not be added terribly often. I will do my best though.
If you notice me mentioning my video in some podcasts, it's because the audio was taken from my old YouTube videos.
