  • Great conversations

    I love listening every week and learning more about peoples faith journeys. I grew up Christian, but not Evangelical, so there are a lot of references I don’t understand but Daniel does a great job explaining them. You can tell that Daniel really cares about people and genuinely wants to hear their story.

  • Fantastic, hopeful podcast

    I cannot say enough good things about this podcast. I appreciate the candor and vulnerability of the guests and the trauma informed approach Dan takes in conducting the interviews. I have learned so much from each one but also appreciate with the heavy subject matter there are always a few moments of joy and laughter. Mostly I just love this podcast because it makes me hopeful, and I think so many of us need that now.
