  • Best young adult Christian podcast

    There is not a podcast I could recommend more to young adults. I’m not a “review guy” either but this podcast is so impactful to me and my wife that I had to write one. They never shy away from the truth and are open about their own struggles. This podcast is a great representation of grace and truth.

  • Honest Christian Talks

    Love how openly and honestly they talk through these topics. I wish the girl had more podcast etiquette, she interrupts frequently (even just to say “yeah”) and it’s distracting! Other than that, this is a podcast that is engaging and is helping me grow in my faith journey. I’ll keep listening!

  • Sigh

    I really really wanted to like this podcast after hearing Jonathan on another podcast speak about evangelism. However, after listening to two episodes, I find Kathy and Nate to be incredibly flippant about serious topics, which makes it a hard listen.

    I love how they cover questions we all have and give ways to better our relationship with God. They are a fantastic listen, all 3 bring their own flair to the mix and it’s just fabulous.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 363: Gender Roles in the Church (feat. Preston Sprinkle)
Q: How should we understand 'authority' in 1 Timothy 2, given the Greek term authentēn?
The discussion emphasizes that authentēn in its broader Greek usage often describes a master/slave-like dominance rather than godly shepherding authority; thus the prohibition is likely about a particular kind of commanding authority rather than all types of leadership by women, especially within the broader context of Scripture.
Episode 363: Gender Roles in the Church (feat. Preston Sprinkle)
Q: What opened your eyes as you studied First Timothy 2 and the related passages?
Preston explains that he started from the unfolding narrative about women in Scripture, considering the whole canon, historical context, and cultural factors such as Artemis in Ephesus, then used linguistic evidence like hapax legomena to reassess traditional readings, ultimately seeking a humane, text-centered approach.
Episode 361: Can I be Friends with my Ex?
Q: So when you break up with someone, how do you navigate being friends afterwards? Is that something you can do righteously?
The hosts suggest boundaries tailored to the relationship, emphasize honesty about future possibilities, and recommend discussing what seeing each other in person will look like, with a priority on not giving false hope or messages that confuse. They also advise prayer, scripture, and trusted accountability to determine what is wise.
Episode 360: Heal Your Hurting Mind (feat. Craig Groeschel)
Q: Is there a way to take every thought captive?
Groeschel suggests recognizing contrary thoughts, replacing them with scripture, and writing them down to create new positive neural pathways.
Episode 360: Heal Your Hurting Mind (feat. Craig Groeschel)
Q: What would you say are some of the top two takeaways or the things that you've learned?
Groeschel emphasizes the importance of understanding our spiritual, emotional, and physical selves, and renewing our mind using God's word.
