I like the content but the amount of ads is getting out of control and now these bonus unconnected podcasts in the feed are explicit. Most of your listeners aren’t going to be listening to explicit podcasts.
Love the content but can’t handle the ads.
The fact that you use a time of life this way shows a complete lack of empathy for these challenged kids. Check yourself. Despicable - this is not the way you handle this age group. Shame on you for not seeing kids, only frustrated parents.
This podcast is such a blessing to my parenting toolbox. I am so grateful for all the lessons and topics they cover. I feel more equipped to parent well and also have my heart pointed to what matters most. Thank you!
This is hands-down, my favorite podcast. I have shared so many episodes with friends and am so thankful for the work that they are doing to build up families and kiddos. They somehow strike the perfect balance of encouragement as well as truth and challenge. Thank you Raising Boys and Girls team! What a blessing this podcast is 🤍
