  • Not Sure

    I’m not sure where to start. After major church hurt, Pastor JP was someone I could continue to listen to. I listened to his Sunday sermons and the Becoming Something podcast. It helped me keep my eyes on Jesus. However, after an episode where Nate was talking about how he treated his pregnant wife, I stopped listening. I enjoy hearing JP, but Nate seems to be lacking compassion and discernment. I listened to the recent podcast about Spiraling, and quickly learned that Nate was continuing in his... more

  • Matthew 19

    Just listened to the first one! I believe that God has called me to be single and 1 Corinthians 7 has been an encouragement and teacher for me, but Matthew 19 was not on my radar. Thank you for being a tool in God’s hand to help open my eyes to more of what God has to say! It is so neat that Jesus talks about singleness too!

  • 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.
