  • Best Christian Pod!

    Absolutely love Darin Starks! I’ve been listening to the Just Different Podcast since 2022 with him and his brother. I am so glad he continues to spread the gospel through The Disciples Journal. Him and his brother influenced my walk with Christ and I’m so thankful God led me to them. 100/10 person and podcast. Darin dives deep into the word and explains it in so many unique ways. He’s helped me lean more into discipleship and navigating life as a follower of Christ.

    I genuinely like this podcast. I love how vulnerable and unafraid to speak on even the hot topics both of the host are. As a fellow creator myself, I appreciate all the antidotes about just real life, real raw experiences that all of us go through, but are always in a space where we can talk about it openly. Lastly, I commend them for how their sermons are rooted in the word, or something that is relatable so that at the end of the day, the focus is on God. Too often we focus on what God can do... more
