Jesus Wants The Rose

Jesus Wants The Rose

Join Apollo for honest conversations about the gospel and the lives it has changed. Each episode is a long-form interview with someone whose story reveals what happens when grace meets real life—pastors, family members, musicians, former skeptics, and faithful believers. We talk about first encounters with Christianity, moments of true understanding, ongoing struggles, and the hope that sustains. This podcast is for anyone curious about how Jesus transforms people from the inside out.
