  • Enjoyable trip

    I say trip, because I was searching for podcast with Hedieh (sp?) the sweet warrior from Islam. I say from because I now claim her truthfully as a Christian sister.

    I I'm glad to add your library to my listening enjoyment. Stay blessed. And seriously consider that dumpster fire of your comments as a podcast. I think it might convict a few million people.

  • Homosexuality (podcast)

    There was a podcast you had with a person who was homosexual and I listened and it touched me. I gained courage and time went by and Jesus was working in my heart. I finally was able to leave my 20 year homosexual lifestyle. Thank you Jesus for permitting me to hear this podcast. God bless you. Now I tell my testimony to many.

  • Blake, my girl!

    I was introduced to Blake on IG for her breaking up with the crunchy world post, realized she was local to me, did a deep dive into her podcast, and the rest is history! This content is perfect for me. Blake feels like a friend, and her guests just keep getting better and better. This is an easy favorite for evening walks or while doing the dishes. Thanks for being so raw and real!
