  • My Go-to Podcast

    I always learn so much from Krista and usually, Monique. Their biblical approach is carefully considered, compassionate and clearly conveyed. I especially loved the recent episode about immigration, how absolutely CRAZY it has been.

  • Her content is so good and truthful it’s been REMOVED!

    Theology mom is my go to for learning about so many things with scripture. I love how she teaches at a laymen’s level and is not afraid to touch on difficult topics.

    With that, all content from 2023 and 2024 has been removed! What’s the deal Apple podcast?!

  • Long time listener. Krista's handling of Matthew 18 caused me to write this review because it was absolutely stellar! I think it's the most comprehensive and personal dissertation on this passage that I've ever heard. I've been a Jewish Christian and pastor's wife for 45 years. Listen to it, you will not be sorry. It may even help you in your difficult relationships. Thank you Krista I love you and Monique as sisters, since 2020 🥰🤗

  • The truth said boldly in love

    I appreciate how Krista is able to speak the truth of God in a bold way wrapped in love and grace. Too many people avoid subjects out of fear that it may offend someone but I love that she goes there! So much value from these conversations and the guests you bring on. We would be friends in real life! It’s so nice to find other Christians who challenge us and help us dive deeper into God’s truth.
