    Love the fun, yet direct and bold conversations! I love how respectful Jim is of Jon’s thoughts, opinions, and insight. Mostly I love being challenged in my walk with the Lord

  • Honest, insightful and funny

    Honestly, such a blessing. I listen to the podcast regularly with my teenage son. Jim and Jon create a bridge for us that opens up dialogue and discussion.

    I can’t even begin to describe what it means to have found another way to help my kids connect with what is pure, clean and beautiful about the way that our God loves us and provides for us and what it’s like to live a life in reverence of that.

    Keep them coming!
