- From a grateful listener
Before I listened to this podcast, I actually read a different version of Practice of the Presence of God and found it difficult to get through. so I thought I would try the podcast and go through it a second time and I’m glad I did. This brother sister duo was silly at times I must admit, but I really appreciated the practical application that they gave, especially at the end of each segment. I also liked this version of the book. Thanks so much-

I really enjoy this podcast. Like really really. I will say that season 3 was rough with the funky, almost AI, voice they used, but season 5 has more than made up for it in the few episodes that have dropped so far. Reading the books alone is good, but having the commentary really opens up more understanding. Keep it up! And Ascension, please keep this podcast going and coming out with the books. I have all of them and love how they look and feel!

I've only seen the Confessions series. The hosts were engaging and well spoke. Very funny.
