  • Absolute Gold!!

    I have been listening to Wire Talk for ELEVEN years!! It is just the best and really the only Christian parenting podcast I listen to. Along with God’s word, it has carried me through some really difficult seasons with my three kids (now all teens and tweens) and my marriage. Karen offers so much parenting wisdom through a biblical lens. I just love it and am so grateful for this ministry. Thank you!!!

  • Listening for years!

    I started listening and following Karen’s practical, Biblical wisdom when own mother passed away and my oldest child (who is now 13) was a toddler. I hear her voice in my head encouraging me and advising me regularly. So thankful for all of her advice and love for mothers and families.
