What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

As an aspiring filmmaker, I have been looking for podcasts about Hollywood from a Christian perspective. This is it. But it’s also just plain interesting with great guests. This is the perfect podcast for those who feel called to film but want more information. I love the “God, Family, Football” episode and the Buzz Dixon episode (but to be honest all are good).😄 Thank you James and crew for your great work!

Michael**** · Feb 2024

This has been a life-changing and inspiring "listen" for me. Jimmy is a great interviewer his guests he interviews provide generous "deep dives" and insights into their art and their faith. A great investment of your time.

FayetteJane · Sep 2023

So incredibly grateful for this Podcast. Real industry people discussing real industry realities. Jimmy’s questions are brilliant, facilitating insightful conversations. 5 stars!

Frankbulldozer · Dec 2021

There’s not many podcasts like this that give a christian worldview of the this industry. I’m just an amateur writer doing it for fun but I’ve found encouragement and inspiration from this podcast
