True Comfort is a podcast for anyone who's heartbroken and tired of shallow advice. Here we share our real pain, hope that's found only in Jesus, and solid evidence that God's promises can be trusted. Hosted by Teasi Cannon, each episode features a compassionate and personal conversation with a Christian apologist who brings truth from the Bible, backed by compelling evidence that God’s promises are not empty. Trusting in our Creator isn’t an act of blind faith. It’s a well-reasoned decision to believe in the One who knows us, sees us, and loves us most.
No fluff. No counterfeit comfort. Just truth you can cling to.
