Over/Under functioning
I just listened to this one. WOAH! It totally hit home for me and is very helpful! I saved it for my future and my family’s future.
Thank you Mac, Katie and Josiah!!!
Engaging and thoughtful
I like the conversational tone, real life stories and practical application of the message in each episode.
Finally a safe place!
So glad to listen to someone WHO GETS IT! Who answers the hard questions with no judgement. My husband was just saying how he started listening to a video that questioned "is Christianity real" from an ex evangelical. He said he turned it off right away because he didn't want to be convinced. I asked him "why"? If you question something, shoving it down and pretending it doesn't exist doesn't help. I pointed him to this podcast right away and hope to hear more about this!
