Welcome to my podcast! My name is Zac Costello--I have been preaching in various capacities since early 2019. It has been an incredible blessing as God continues to mold me and teach me as He has graciously allowed me to preach His Word. God has given me a gift and a passion for preaching and teaching. My desire is to follow Christ in obedience--My method is simple-Preach the Word--I strive to preach proper, Biblical, expository, verse by verse sermons that seek to give the listener a deeper understanding, appreciation, and love for the God, and His Word--I pray you are blessed by my sermons!
