And, you know, if God could just use my story, even , to just comfort somebody else, then that's a good thing. And I know that he'll redeem it somehow. "- Ashley Pritchard

The meta narrative around the story is relationships versus transactions. The things I remember are not events, they're relationships. - Bo PritchardBo Pritchard sits down with Amy Fritz to share his story of longing to be an "us" in a church community and learning the hard way what happens when a community values transactions over relationships.

Customer Reviews
Great podcast!
Amy has created a much-needed space for those who have experienced disillusionment or discouragement in their Christian faith journey and makes the listening experience feel very safe. If you need it, this podcast will help you reclaim a faith that is grounded in goodness and truth. Deirdre
Emotionally driven and one sided
Grieved to see this one sided podcast touted as a Christian podcast. Reminds me of Proverbs 18:17 “The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.”
Additionally, the maximized look at emotions rather than any reminder of the truth of the gospel is a real miss here. Listen if you want to hear people drone on about their perceived hurts rather than any encouragement towards Scriptural truth.
Amy is a true friend & wonderful host
I was a guest on this podcast and the reason I wanted to be was because of months of hearing her voice and coming to trust her. I can say that “meeting” her through recording (then real meeting a few months later), who she is on these episodes is who she is in person: warm, patient, gracious, wise, trustworthy, full of integrity, and empathetic. Love this podcast because of her.
