  • Used to be incredible

    This used to be a MUST LISTEN. Then they change the format. Not here for it. They do cover some good content if you can manage to sit through the rabbit trails and anecdotes of their guests. Much love for Brady & Alex! I’ll tune in everywhere else.

  • Extremely practical + encouraging

    The advice given is very practical and applicable. I appreciate the way they lean into their niche audience instead of trying to cast a super wide net and weakening their individual impact.

    + encouraging to be reminded weekly that there are so many church creatives working on overcoming the same challenges as you.
