  • Move on

    She seems stuck on Dave Ramsey and takes joy in trouble that he or his organization may be facing. Seek help and get past it. Move on. Take responsibility for your own life and stop whining.

  • Emotionally driven and one sided

    Grieved to see this one sided podcast touted as a Christian podcast. Reminds me of Proverbs 18:17 “The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.”

    Additionally, the maximized look at emotions rather than any reminder of the truth of the gospel is a real miss here. Listen if you want to hear people drone on about their perceived hurts rather than any encouragement towards Scriptural truth.

  • .

    The Ramsey stuff & u telling your story was really good. The later seasons where u try unpack scripture with no theological qualifiers & twisting scripture to fit your narrative goes beyond the scope of what made this podcast good in the beginning
