My husband actually introduced me to this podcast. We will listen to episodes apart from each other and talk about them later. It feels like we are constantly poured into in a good way and talk about it afterwards. We absolutely love this podcast!
Solid Wisdom, but Will No Longer Listen

God's word!

I think Dave and Ashley are great at being vulnerable and have a lot of wisdom for married couples. However, when I heard that they are having Jimmy Evans on as a guest after the spiritual abuse and controversies he was involved with came out, l I just had to unfollow. No matter if he was the founder of XO, he should not be given a platform to give guidance on anything spiritual given that he has only given excuses for his behavior and no apology.
So real and authentic
