Relevant and entertaining

I started following the show in December 2023, and I was skeptical at first. A Christian show that is fun and up with the times? Well, it is just that! I didn’t realize how much my own children and youth group are saying or talking about that I didn’t understand previously. Slang of the week, song of the week, weekly topics, deep dives…all super relevant. I love the various opinions and thoughts. Keep up the great work!
