Life Changing! Steve & Lisa and his guests consistently provide life-giving nourishment, biblical wisdom, intellectual advice, witty humor, and a calm presence. This podcast helps me start my day grounded as I grow in my awareness of God's presence, my internal anxieties, and the hearts of others. Every episode is just as delightful as Steve's deep, silky Australian accent!
Podcast Addict52 months agoWalquist- A great way to start the week
Every Monday morning as I commute to work I turn on the Being Human podcast. Not only does Steve bring a calming presence, the content sets the tone for my week.

Canadaa year ago - The Tae Kwon Do of Anxiety Management
Both Steve and Lisa have been done thousands of hours of study and practice in their respective fields. They are amazing masters sharing the art of being human. I love how Steve says we should remember that “we are only human sized”. Selah! The powers as Walter Wink says will continue to push out the sumo ring of human sized-ness but it’s worth the fight . He is God we are not.

United Statesa year ago - Keeps differentiation top of mind
This is one of my favorite podcasts. Steve, Lisa, and their guests do a great job at helping me remain Human sized. They also teach tools to help stop the spread of anxiety while remaining connected to the person feeling anxious. It’s a great podcast to learn how to better communicate with yourself, others, and God. Highly recommend this pod and Steve’s books!
Apple Podcasts5evansj453United Statesa year ago - Practical, compassionate, open
This podcast fuses the reminder of deep spiritual truths with tremendously beneficial insights from psychology, neuroscience, etc., in a way that is not prescriptive or moralistic, but humble, open to doubt, questions and mystery, and truly offers a space space for listeners to learn, explore, question and take away practical tools - no matter where one is on their faith journey.
