  • Super practical

    Recently become familiar with John after reading his book steps several times it’s a very content dense book and it just very helpful. I was an Al-Anon years ago and those principles are just so good and anyway the book was great and I really like his condemnation thing I did during lent and anyway I really like listening to his little five minute blurbs and they’re just really helpful to help me abiding Christ, so thank you

  • Excellent

    This is an excellent podcast, the only thing I would change is the numbering of the podcast episodes - very confusing and unusual, hard to follow.
