  • Excellent!

    I so appreciate what The Roys Report is doing for people who have been hurt and neglected by the church. As someone who has experienced spiritual abuse, my heart is encouraged when I see Julie’s intentional effort to give voice to the voiceless.

  • Slipping.

    I used to enjoy this show, but I’m starting to really question Julie’s motives. It’s very biased against conservative Christians. Listen at your own risk.
