  • I only have 14 left to listen to 🥹😱

    I’ve been unbelievably blessed by your ministry. I just started listening to your podcast the first weekend of Lent, when I was looking for a reliable resource (in English) to offer someone an insight into the Church’s teaching on the current gender confusion.

    I’m a Spanish speaker and moved to the U.S. two and a half years ago. I didn’t speak English at all, so I was surprised to realize, while listening to you, that I was able to follow a long conversation in English! I also started learning ... more

    The reactions to the questions are so powerful. The answers help me, so I can only imagine how they help the actual questioners. It would be great to hear from the questioners and how they have been impacted.

  • Everyone should listen

    This Podcast is amazing. We are missionaries and so many of our college students turn to this podcast as a resource to discover what love really is in a world that is fallen. Christopher and Wendy compliment one another beautifully to provide the masculine and feminine aspects in each response. The grace from their marriage FLOWS into their work on this. So grateful for all of their efforts in making TOB known.
