My New Favorite Podcast!

God bless! I just found this podcast and I am so blessed by your ministry. Thank you for breaking down the Bible in such a simplistic, yet effective and understandable fashion. I will share with my family and friends and pray your ministry continues to grow.

Rachsun ,

Helpful but sometimes frustrating.

I like that there is a podcast to digest small parts of scripture each day. Very helpful to have a passion dread, and then discussed, it helped my brain think about things in different ways. The frustrating parts are that she spends too long in the beginning of each episode talking about other things, in fact, she often states that she is “ digressing”, but yet continues to digress. I also think she would benefit from theologically tying small passages together, she often gets stuck in the weeds, simply restating with the Bible passage has said, rather than tying it into the greater narrative and theological anchor points, and themes.

Wow312lm ,

I want to thank you for renewing and hopefully I get it here for the love your show. Thank you.

I am a big fan. I’m from Michigan and I love you so.
