    Episode 204. HAGS

    Episode 204. HAGS

    Well you guys, this is it. This is the *final* episode of Craving Connection. We say *final* because we’re not actually gone forever, but this is our last consistent Monday episode for awhile. After 4 years, our podcast has officially finished her senior year and she’s ready for summer break. We can’t fully put into words what this show has meant to us, but we sure try in this episode. We spend an hour reminiscing on the last 4 years and what a wonderful experience this whole thing has been. We would love for you to stay subscribed so when we do get a wild hair to release an episode, you won’t miss it, because we truly do think of our listeners as our friends. This isn’t goodbye, it’s HAGS.

Favorite podcast!

I look forward to their new episodes every week! I’m also subscribed to their patreon episodes (100% worth if it you’ve been hesitating) and I’ve been listening through the kitschy kountdown episodes to get caught up.

If all that doesn’t say it, I reallllly love this podcast and listening to these ladies! I haven’t run into an episode that I haven’t liked. The content is always well thought out, and I appreciate their godly wisdom in all of the topics they discuss.

BFF’s

Kelsey and Kelsey make me feel like I’m sitting in a coffee shop with my best friends, in a time where I can’t actually do that! I’m so thankful for their thoughts and opinions, their advice, and their humor!

Updated opinions

These girls are warm and fun! They are so relatable and no matter where i’m listening, I feel like I’m hanging out with friends.

update:
I am disappointed and heartbroken to see two christian women not support and stand with the people in this country who are hurting and oppressed. I have enjoyed the light heartedness of this podcast for over a year and while i found it disheartening that no statement was made about the brutality of people of color by the police, especially as a military family I had hopes that you would stand against the obviously corrupt and abusive officers, but my concerns and fears were made clear through your social media presence.
Light hearted topics can only go so far. Thank you for the fun moments, but I will no longer be listening to this podcast. Sometimes being comfortable and having fun takes the backseat, especially when people in our community are crying out in pain.
I hope you are able to look at my words with an open mind, and perhaps be willing to make some changes, in love.
