Customer Reviews
Essential Listening
This podcast slaps. Anyone who says otherwise is in their feelings.
Shining a Light
I love that Joseph and Nicole aren’t afraid to broach the tough subjects and shine light into the darkness. I truly appreciate that they are centering voices of marginalized and affected people in these conversations. Best part is when they honor and believe someone else’s experience and story. It is so validating and affirming. They’re teaching and inspiring me to love bigger and better… more like Jesus. This was my #1 most listened to podcast in 2021.
Powerful, uplifting, and life giving
I can remember the first time I listened to Nicole and Josephs podcast- it had been a long time since I had felt so validated, seen, related to, understood. Thankful for the work they are doing to live lives and produce episodes that consistently explore other perspectives and center marginalized voices that have been historically silenced or ignored. This podcast has been powerful, uplifting, and life giving for me. Thanks for making me feel like I wasn’t completely losing my mind…or my faith. Their messages of love, acceptance, and celebration literally save lives.
