About this podcast
New Name. New Conversations. Same Foundation of Faith.
Welcome to The Common Ground Podcast – A Pekin First Podcast!
Life is full of different journeys, experiences, and perspectives, but there's one thing that brings us together: faith.
Through real stories, honest conversations, inspiring guests, and a little humor along the way, we explore the challenges of everyday life and discover how God is working in the world around us.
Whether you've walked with God your entire life, are just beginning your faith journey, or are simply searching for answers, there's a place for you here.
