Quick review

As a SBC Pastor, I thoroughly enjoy the Way Home podcast. In a world of hot takes and spouting opinions while fingers are simultaneously buried in ones ear, Dan’s communication style is a breath of fresh air. I also appreciate the variety of guest that come on the show. Though I wouldn’t see eye to eye with the views of a few of them, the Podcast gave me needed perspective in why they hold to the views they do

Refreshing, Practical, and Relevant

“The Way Home” podcast is refreshingly practical. I love the way Daniel Darling takes on relevant, real-world topics and addresses them with a solid Christian worldview. He chooses great guests, and together they make the topics fun, engaging, and most importantly, practical and actionable. Thank you Daniel, you’ve made my otherwise soul-sucking commute an uplifting and refreshing experience!

LDJPJJ ,

One of my new FAVORITE podcasts!

First of all, Daniel has such a calming and easy to listen to voice that I can relax while being educated, encouraged and challenged, all at the same time! His broad range of topics and diverse guests keep me looking forward to the next episode! I don’t even know how I stumbled across his podcast, but am so glad I did! Keep it up, Daniel and co!
