  • Thank you :)

    I’m a teen who really wants to love other people well and this podcast has taught me how to do that as best as I know how. A lot of other Christian podcasts (no shade to them) seem to be performing for God not genuinely asking or seeking God but they seem to actually seek God in the things they do. I aspire to be like these people in my faith walk.

  • Loving the identity dialogue

    I recently found a this podcast and I SO appreciate your honest dialogues about how our identity can be attacked by Satan, and the remedy is us speaking truth of God’s Word over ourselves - instead of trying and o speak affirmations, or feel our way into identity confidence. Thank you also for your conversations Laurie about counseling those struggling with gender issues.

  • Genuine. Thought-provoking. Moving.

    A good friend pointed me in the direction of this podcast after I opened up to him about a portion of my testimony. I started listening to some of the more recent episodes initially then decided to start from the very beginning as I fell in like with the heart & mindset behind this ministry & people group. Both the church and lgbtq+ community (and those of us who fit within both categories) can learn & grow because of the scripture, ideas, & testimonies discussed throughout this podcast.

  • Cannot love enough!

    I’ve been slowly working my way through the Hole in my Heart podcast and am on Episode 84, and I just keep being so Thankful. Tear-stricken. Called out. Joyful. Y’all, this is so good. I can’t binge this one because each episode gives so much for thought and study and I gotta process, sometimes for days and weeks between episode. These folks are on my bucket list of people I want to meet this side of heaven. You guys feel like friends - keep going!
