Transformational
Long time listener of this podcast! Can’t recommend enough!
Philosophical but practical
My husband and I listen to this podcast on family trips while the kids nap. We always end up pausing each short episode more than once to discuss and debate the topic. It’s really fun and though-provoking. I’d hate to listen to it alone because I always have so many things I want to discuss afterwards! The episodes always end up being a great jumping off point for fruitful conversations about our life and marriage and parenting and how to live faithfully as Christians.
