Customer Reviews
Amazing Podcast
Kirk your amazing. Your real, touching, and caring for all involved. You ask excellent questions to your guests and you help us understand ORDINARY PEOPLE and their feelings and how they have to face adversities without fortune or fame. So thank you. But the next powerful thing about your Podcast is that you show the truth about Jesus and even the problematic issues or situations in extraordinary people to ordinary people. Thank you we all need to produce fruit but cannot produce it unless it talked about first. Change cannot be made if we don’t teach the people the truth. So thank you for the TRUTH!
Great Podcast
This has become my go to podcast on Sunday’s. Only right to listen to Kirk on a Sunday lol. Kirk has a great way of chatting and communicating with his guest. He makes the shows fun. I can’t wait for more episodes.
Excellent Podcast - Come Back
This podcast was so good. Kirk is a great interviewer and great dialogue. I really hope this wasn't a one time deal or just something to explore during the pandemic, because we need season 2 and 3... Come on back Kirk, we need Season 2, because this is where it's at, we are waiting.
Update- Kirk is such a natural, who knew? I enjoy this podcast immensely! He such a great interviewer and great conversations, every episode he knocks it out the park. Keep the episodes coming and new seasons, love the show!!
Dr. Bernice King episode was a goldmine, such a great episode!
