  • A great, down-to-earth Catholic podcast!

    I really appreciate the balanced, grounded conversations these guys have. Very insightful yet also at times funny, light-hearted, and they certainly don’t take themselves too seriously. Very refreshing and fun to listen to while also being educational. Would love to hear book recommendations from the gang (maybe at the end of each episode)!!!

  • Inspiring, Educational, Fun!

    I always come away convicted and encouraged in how I can live closer to Christ in a very realistic attainable way. I always learn something new and find more balance in my own perspectives while feeling like I’m having a fun convo with friends.
