The Alive & Free Podcast

Samantha & Spencer Robbins•www.aliveandfreeconsulting.com

We have been on a relentless journey for over a decade to live whole hearted and connected to God and others (actually connected). As a byproduct of this journey, we became life coaches (by accident) in 2018 and have now worked with over 32,000 believers. We have committed to documenting what we've learned in our lives as well as what we've learned from our clients and that's why we started the Alive & Free Podcast...to offer whatever we can to other believers that don't want to settle for mediocre connection in their lives and relationships. We cover conflict, pain, forgiveness, addictions, coping, sin, codependency, as well as many other topics. Welcome to the conversation.
