  • I’M SO THANKFUL IT’S BACK

    I started listening to the podcast several years ago in my own season of “pivot.” I have been encouraged by all the stories of transformation through unexpected circumstances. I was so excited to see NEW EPISODES!!! This podcast is amazing and has been life giving to my own faith. Thanks for reminding us to lean in to the hard questions of faith in Jesus rather than running away from them.

    If your plans in life have ever been massively interrupted- or possibly demolished- and you are feeli... more

  • A Kind Companion

    Transitions and changes in life is something people aren’t often open about. It’s easy to feel super isolated as you navigate changes. The Pivot has been such a kind encouragement. The guests are honest and open in their journey. Andrew does a wonderful job of hosting. It feels like you’re among friends - which is soothing when you feel uneasy in the midst of changes.
