- Not Biased?
In the latest episode, it is stated that Reuters, the Associated Press, BBC, and NPR are the least biased news networks. Really, NPR? I have been noticing the very subtle liberal leanings of this podcast that have surfaced over the last few months. Not so subtle anymore. Please, no matter how thinly veiled, leave any political agendas out of this podcast. I really enjoy this show, but, for me personally, liberalism doesn’t mix with Christianity.

United States2 years ago - Love it!
I have been listening off and on for a couple years now. I really love Laura and her compassion for others! I appreciate the kind way she speaks and how she encourages me to show love and kindness to my younger self (having faced childhood trauma on several levels). Thank you for honoring God on your podcast!
Apple Podcasts5emoji junkyUnited States2 years ago - Affairs are caused by Satan?
Listened with interest and hope to the episode about boundaries and affairs to discover the number one reason people have affairs is “Satan”. I thought this was a podcast by a clinical professional but, nope. Utter lack of critical thought by yet another Christian wingnut
