Holland Christian Medium Talk: Recent Episodes
HC Medium Talk
Tired of surface-level conversation? We are, too. This podcast was started to help kick things up a notch and deepen relationships in the Holland Christian community. We recognize that honest, vulnerable story-sharing can be difficult, so we'll go first. You're invited to listen in on conversations with HC faculty and staff members as we offer a glimpse behind-the-scenes into who we are and why we're here. Listen to the introduction episode for more details!
