What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I am not one for writing reviews, but because I find Colleen and Nikki to be such a blessing, especially in all of the research they put into their podcast. I am a former Adventist and am now a born again Christian. I thought it would bother me to have to revisit Adventist doctrines and beliefs, but it has not. I find comfort in the truth of God’s word and how Nikki and Colleen reveal the truth.

Thank you so much for this podcast!! It has been so valuable in helping me understand and separate what is adventism versus what is Biblical Christianity.

Thank you Colleen & Nikki for the recent episode on flesh vs spirit. I think growing up in the SDA cult, I could never grasp the “surrender” concept. I’ve tried so hard to detach from the “works” based thought process. It may sound easy to ppl who have only learned the true gospel. But trying to “unlearn” the false teachings we had pounded into our heads, is not easy. I really appreciate the straight fwd way the two of you explain God Word in TRUTH! Thanks so much!

I was a 3rd generation SDA. I always loathed EGW growing up because of the inconsistency with which my parents applied her writings to our lives. The dos and don’ts were applied only as they saw fit. Some things we had to adhere to emphatically, while others not so much. It was a religion I grew weary of many years ago. While I quit going to church for a very long time I still considered myself an SDA. I finally decided I needed to start getting my heart right and wanted to start studying my Bible again and ultimately start going back to church. After talking to my daughter about the large amount of plagiarism that EGW had done I knew I had to learn more. I am so thankful that my daughter directed me to your podcasts as I was studying my way out of adventism. I started listening to your podcasts in 2020 during Covid. I actually went back to episode 1 and binge listened until I caught up. There are so many things I have had to unpack about what I thought I knew to be true and your podcasts have helped me through this so much! I finally made the last and final step this past June when I sent a letter to the Georgia Cumberland Conference office asking them to pull my name from their membership. That was amazingly easy! Within 2 weeks I had a response confirming that they had removed my name. Thank you! thank you! thank you!
