Better Than Zero
Better Than Zero is a podcast dedicated to celebrating each step people take in their apprenticeship to Jesus. Each day, we’ll read a short passage from the Bible and explore another spiritual discipline such as prayer or silence. The goal is to create a springboard that makes apprenticeship to Jesus simple and accessible to everyone, whether they’re just starting a walk with Jesus or have been doing so for a while.
