Customer Reviews
I love this podcast!
Admittedly, it's hard for me to listen to podcasts. I don't have commuting time in the car, or down time at home, and frankly, when I listen to them, I get distracted easily! This is not the case for me when I listen to Robrenna's podcasts! I LOVE they are short- between 10-25 mins ususally. I can listen on a quick drive to the store! And the topics are SO relevant to my life with a middle schooler and high schooler. I love the topics and love her calming voice and presence. Thank you, Robrenna!
Mama Take Heart.
This is a powerful podcast. It blesses me every session
Encouraging
Robrenna does a great job interviewing and communicating information about connecting with my daughters in today’s culture. I appreciate learning how to understand what is going on in my girls mind and how to respond in a Godly way. Thank you Robrenna!
