Customer Reviews
Relevant and entertaining
I started following the show in December 2023, and I was skeptical at first. A Christian show that is fun and up with the times? Well, it is just that! I didn’t realize how much my own children and youth group are saying or talking about that I didn’t understand previously. Slang of the week, song of the week, weekly topics, deep dives…all super relevant. I love the various opinions and thoughts. Keep up the great work!
Great resources!
This podcast is great for anyone who has teens in their lives and wants to stay up on what’s going on in culture today. Their website has great visual resources to use with the teens in your circle of influence and it’s all FREE!!!
