Customer Reviews
the BEST podcast
I have been a loyal listener since 2019 and I still get so excited every Friday for the latest episode. Paul has the best sense of humor and is able to find light in even the darkest situations. This is the absolute best podcast and I would (and do) recommend it to everyone!!
Dana Killion
Sad that this woman can talk about her life and relationship, and the only responsibility/fault she can take for anything is her “silence.”
Come on. It seems that so many women can’t admit to any fault in relationships at all. They must be 100% victims. It takes two people and both have faults.
Thank you!
Because of this platform, I understand people better. Thank you for all you do!
God loves you! Though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will be with you. We walk through life’s journey, we don’t stay or stop in the depths of darkness, and we are not alone, He is with us!
