  • 1/2 of my Favorite Podcasts

    Along with Life, Books, and Everything (featuring Colin Hansen quite often), Gospelbound is easily one of my favorite podcasts. It is rare that I miss or skip an episode. Colin is one of the best question-askers I have ever listened to. So thankful for such great content coming out of TGC.

They push feminism and anti-white rhetoric because that happens to align with the spirit of the age but would be foreign to centuries of Christian fathers

However I’m so glad I live in a time where I have the option to pursue a career and grow in my faith and skills all the while being open and hoping to have a family of my own. I’m so glad I don’t live in a time when I’... more
