Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 26 ratings
  • This podcast is the best! The hosts are on the same journey as many of their listeners, writing in their spare time and working to publish their stories. They bring a different perspective to the process than some podcasts in that their faith drives their motivation and purpose. They are warm and genuine, and feel like friends you could sit and have coffee with. Give them a listen!

Another fun aspect is when ... more

  • Missing Episodes

    Great to see a podcast for Christian writers. Disappointed in the sound quality of some episodes, and that many episodes seem to be missing from here and I have to go looking for them elsewhere.
