Jonathan-
Deanna and I cannot thank you enough for your ministry and the Candid Conversation podcast. It has meant so much to us and our family, to my small group of men that I pass on particular episodes that have applied to our weekly Bible study and prayer time, as well as passing on particular episodes, to new friends and new believers that cross our paths.
Now, we rejoice in your calling to your new role as senior pastor at our church.
Thanks always,
Lane and Deanna Hollis

I love his guests and his insights. As a first generation Christian, I am trying to learn as much as possible to minimize mistakes in life and relationships. I also recommend hearing his dad, Michael Youseff’s podcast. Thank you to the Youseff family!
Johnathon has a peaceful voice and a gift from God for this ministry. I listen to him daily and would recommend him highly.
I really enjoy listening to this podcast! I especially enjoyed the recent episode about discipleship with Tara where she shared how I can be more confident when sharing the gospel and discipling others in my life! This topic is so needed today and I’m so glad they are talking about it! I’d encourage everyone to listen to this to learn the same!
I’ve been listening to Candid for a couple of years now and it’s opened my eyes to a lot of things I didn’t know about God. I’m writing this review because this week’s episode 278 helped encourage me to disciple others more often and live out my faith like the first century church did. I highly recommend this podcast if you want to feel uplifted! Thank you, Jonathan.
