Customer Reviews
My 2 cents
I am apart of the podcast so this has some bias. What I will say is being on the podcast is humbling. The topics take effort to talk about. We do have some in the moments talks but there is no shooting from the hip for a majority of each episode. There is research and studying that is done with care on each episode. We care about what we say and if it had evidence to back it up.
Outstanding podcast!
I decided to check out an episode and loved it so much I binge-listened several more! It is informative, entertaining and thought-provoking. With a rotating cast of hosts and guests, and a variety of topics, it is never the same vibe from episode to episode. It is smart, funny, touching (a couple of episodes even brought tears to my eyes!) and spiritually up-lifting. It is evident that the hosts are passionate about their Christian faith and about mentoring the teens in their ministry to help grow theirs. I can’t say enough good things about it! I’m hooked! Bravo Lumen8 team!
Thank you!
This podcast is fun, enlightening, relevant and applicable! The messages/episodes give me relatable subjects that help me connect and communicate with my teenage daughter while we grow in our faith together.
