Love you guys!

Tripped over this podcast searching for another, and I’m thrilled I did! I’ve been happily married for 26 years and I’m raising teenagers, 17 year old twins, and every podcast I learn something applicable to my life! Grateful for y’all! May God bless you abundantly!

Excellent Content

Thank you for taking the time to talk about such real and challenging issues. A lot of what you discuss, I really can’t find any other good information out there on these topics. I’m a Christian going through a very rough season in my marriage and this has been a great source. My husband has been super involved in Braveco as well. I’m always sharing the show with others!

Highlight of my week

This is one of the few podcasts as a busy mom that I look forward to every week. Love the way this couple dialogues through so many topics. They give so much quality content in a short amount of time.
I also highly recommend brave co podcast for any men reading this. My husband and I are both growing so much through learning from these amazing people!
