Best CFM Podcast!

I have listened to several different CFM podcasts and I have enjoyed most of them, but this one tops them all. The guests are all extremely knowledgeable and bring new insights into each chapter. I loved studying with one of the other podcasts, but my depth of understanding and my desire to learn and study more has increased as I’ve listened to “Follow Him” each week. Thanks to Hank Smith and John Bytheway for putting this together, and to each of their guests for sharing their knowledge and testimonies.

Perfect addition to my study time.

i love this podcast because it adds information, perspective and understanding to what I am studying. my view gets opened up and often it fills in blanks between my current understanding especially through the Isaiah chapters.

I learn something new everytime I listen!

I cannot begin to say how many things I've learned each time I listen.
I leave each podcast ready to improve, and I love all the things they say; it helps me understand the scriptures that much more. Thank you!
