  • I listen to several episodes and was struck in horror at how blatant the hosts were in regards to their hate for Christianity. the hosts are focused on advancing agendas, particularly in politics. rather than focusing on helping people navigating relationships. I would not in good conscience recommend this podcast to anyone
