  • Rosie Makinney is terrible!

    Rosie is terrible! She spoils an otherwise amazing podcast. She is cynical, condescending, and talks down to men about an important topic for men and that’s pornography.

    Her tone, her use of words, and the way that she talks down to men is huge distraction

    I am surprised that Focus on the Family keeps having her on to talk about such a sensitive topic

    I don’t watch porn, pornography… But no how many men are captivated by it

    I would give this podcast a five star rating… But because she is... more

  • A blessing to our my marriage

    Thank you for this ministry. I’m 32 I’ve been married for 10 years. We have 3 kids. There isn’t a lot of trustworthy, genuine Godly couples around us to guide us and mentor us. I come from a broken, dysfunctional home growing up. This podcast has been such an encouragement and saving grace to me and my spouse. He doesn’t even know I listen to this, but I didn’t realize how much we needed it- how much I needed it-until God led me to it.

    Thank you beyond words.
