  • Great content but distracting host

    Great topics but one of the hosts talks over the guests and constantly says “totally” and “for sure”. It’s distracting from the conversation at hand and some coaching on how to interview could be helpful.

    Otherwise great content.

I love how practical each episode is, and especially that they always share what the Bible says first. They share their own raw experiences, which have helped me in navigating some of life’s challenges with my husband. My husband and I also had the pleasure of meeting Scott and Derek at Harris Creek earlier this year and they are just... more

  • So encouraging!

    I wanted you to know how much I appreciate your podcast, it’s such an encouraging space for couples of all ages! I live in South Dakota and started listening when our daughter became a student at Baylor and a member of Harris Creek. We have attended HC many times, and I even lived in Waco last spring for 6 weeks to help our daughter recover from ACL/meniscus repair. Thank you for your great advice and ministry! 🙏🏻
