1Theophilus
The 1Theophilus Podcast is a Christian podcast hosted by Troy Spradlin. It offers several different recorded formats: a devotional thought from the Bible for encouragement, a recorded lesson from a sermon recently delivered from the pulpit, or a one-on-one discussion of a topic with other preachers. Our hope is simply to encourage and help you with your spiritual journey, to be loved by God, and to love Him - which is what the name "Theophilus" implies. Blessings!
