What’s the show about?

Transformed Lives Podcast is a conversation with our supporters, partners, and past clients who share their own stories of Transformation and why they support New Beginnings and stand together in community. Just like the early church in Acts 2:44–45, we believe empowerment grows when we live, give, and journey together.
