Customer Reviews
Delightful
Thanks for demonstrating that religious life can be fun.
Love you guys!
Love listening to you guys. Feels like sitting around talking with a couple of crazy friends especially since I’m originally from Nashville. 😆 I was listening to your March 14, 2023 podcast in the car today and was literally laughing out loud…all by myself. Look forward to a new post every week.
