What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This series was absolutely phenomenal… thank you Monte Mader … I’m in tears and more inspired than I’ve ever been in my 67 years as a “Christian “Black Man and former Pastor in America— I would love to share my story but it pales in comparison to what I just listened too. What I will do is share this with all my platforms and I will figure out how to send you the $6 dollars a month that I now send to the DNC —- I used to minimize my talents and gifts—- no longer Madeba —- saying that name is the only name besides Jesus that makes me cry. I don’t deify Madeba —- I connect with him as much as I connect with you Monte. Thank you for your courage…much love my Dearest Sister

As a former fundamentalist Christian I love Monte’s stories, insights and guests. She has helped reinforce my recovery from the cult that almost destroyed me.

treeloverlinda · Aug 2026

What better way to educate oneself than listening to someone like Monte who was once indoctrinated by Fundamentalism herself? Someone, I might add, who has actually read a Bible unlike those who love to justify hatred with misquoted verses! I’m so grateful to have found her through Instagram and am looking forward to these continued deep dives! Listening to the current episode on Birth Control makes me want to add that, if WOMEN ALONE are responsible for reproduction and we are doing it all by ourselves, then ALL BIRTHS WOULD LITERALLY BE FEMALE!! XX chromosomes, get it? Thank you again, Monte!!

Red Rhody (Lesley) · Jul 2026

Words will never be able to describe how much I appreciate this podcast and Monte. From the history to the theological studies to calling out the so-called leaders have done more damage than good; finally somebody is speaking it out loud. During the Dobson episode, I bawled the entire time because someone was finally putting into words and letting others know what I felt and knew even as a very small child. The conversations and deconstructing of purity culture and rapture trauma has been so healing. Again, thank you, Monte! (Yes, I am signed up on Patreon!)
