    Advice is everywhere. Good advice is hard to come by but good advice that also all aligns with the Bible and my beliefs and values that are biblical are very rare. This is helpful thank you

  • Good podcast!

    I enjoy listening to these ladies, and appreciate their research. I do think that they lean a bit towards a legalistic/fear-driven mindset. I also really wish they’d update the intro, as the whole “check it, we keep it realz” line is pretty cringey, undermines the seriousness of their material, and has definitely made me hesitate to recommend the show to other moms.

  • Awesome podcast!

    I have been listening to this podcast for awhile and love it. I rarely comment but was so blown away by the recent episode on Back to School Encouragement that I felt compelled to write a review. Every parent needs to hear this one! It is packed with so much wisdom and I plan to listen to it again and probably a third time just to unpack it all again and share some of this with my kids. I love that resources and references are included in the episode notes. Thank you Mama Bear Apologetics!!... more
