  • Incredible

    I have been listening to this podcast since 2019 and it has undoubtedly led me closer to Christ. Taylor and the guests are relatable, funny, spiritually informative, and often inspiring. This is one of the few podcasts I regularly listen to and I am often left with something to ponder. I think everyone could use listening to this podcast

  • Late to the game

    I just found out about this show while listening to Clerically Speaking. I’m now playing catch up on episodes. It’s a great deal of fun and very educational without being stuffy. I love that they bring Catholicism to the common man in an easy going way. I loved the alphabet game! Fabulous.
