Customer Reviews
Great listen!
Danny Huerta's wisdom and refreshing perspective in the Focus on Parenting Podcast is a true asset, offering practical advice and relatable experiences that add genuine value to the challenging task of parenting. - Ash & The Capsho Team
Too short on content
The episodes are very short and move one to more than one topic in each one, usually not pertaining to what the title of the episode is. I would prefer a longer format where they get deep into the issues.
Praying for a young rebellious adult
Once I seen this headline I just had to listen. This is something so relatable to me and when Brenda (the guest I hope I got the name right) started telling her story about what she had went through with her daughter it gave me hope because she’s describing exactly what I have been going through with my daughter. Unfortunately I was unable to hear HER story it was cut so very very short because the host just kept talking he always does this and interrupts to make it about himself. It reminded me of why I had stopped listening to this podcast. I’m praying the Holy Spirit will please speak to the hosts who keep referring to themselves instead of allowing the lord to flow through the guests so that the listeners can receive the message and be blessed by it. This is a consistent thing so I’ve stopped listening to this podcast for so long I had forgotten all about the reason why I stopped. Please please please allow the guests to talk and not make it about yourself your interrupting the flow of what the spirit could be saying to someone out there. I missed my message from Brenda and I am so broken hearted 😔
