Customer Reviews
Great podcast
Great podcast
However episode on April 30 contains a story that legitimately is the type of thing that drives people away from Christ. Should’ve probably called that out. People should be cheerful givers not manipulated and browbeaten.
Not enough to bring the review down a star but absolutely leaves a bad taste
Wonderful podcast
John and Greg provide such good insight on marriage and family relationships. I listen to this daily and find it informative and encouraging
Encouraging in this most discouraging season
I’m so glad I found this podcast. I appreciate every one who is sharing their marriage testimony. It gives me hope. God is faithful. The spiritual feeding I’m getting from every episode leaves me wanting more. It is so good and I can’t say thank you enough. Highly recommend a listen!
