Scratch Everything Podcast.

‘Scratch Everything’ is about building life from the top, down.

Shanika has created this podcast as a way to have transparent + vulnerable conversations about the process where God dismantles your life and begins to rebuild everything again without the former things that already existed. It's to commission her audience to learn how to 'let go', leave behind the things he's requested, + be obedient in their walk with God in order for Him to do a NEW thing. Xx
