  • So good, I’m lost for words!

    I absolutely love this show! I look forward to it every week and I get something so meaningful every time I listen! Every guest is an amazing featured guest and just help me be the better parent. I know I can be! One of my favorite episodes was the gentleman who wrote sacred rhythms book, biting the hand that feeds you and so much more on forgetting right now. The most recent one with Dr. Amen is finding its way in the top three for sure! I just feel so grateful and blessed to have this content ... more

  • Great advice, too much talking by Rebecca

    Danny gives great advice and is the professional expert and experienced parent. While Rebecca has some good insights and examples/stories, she makes too many random comments and vocalizations while other people are talking (“mmm” and “yeah”). A few vocalizations is natural, but hers are excessive. She is just another parent like we are, not a trained professional. So we want to hear from Danny more.

  • Top parenting podcast

    Can’t say enough good things about this podcast. Danny and Rebecca have such compassion, so apparent in their voices, their conversation, the guests they have on. They have practical ideas, compelling wisdom, and some light-hearted moments. Bringing it back to what He promises in His Word has more than once been a conduit of God’s peace flowing in during some really despairing parenting challenges. Thank you, thank you for putting the message of His faithfulness out there for us seeking Him in t... more

  • It’s good to feel seen

    Thank you for your recent episode on parenting (and specifically fatherhood) anxiety. Anxiety has played such a strong roll in my story, and I’m thankful for the work God is still doing in my life through shows like yours. Cheers!
