What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Even though science is being shared, she continually points back to the Word and the Holy Spirit at work. The renewing of the mind is not science alone and we can’t make it happen with these practices. Only God can make the change in us. If you have not listened or learned about brain science yet, this is a safe place for it.

Mrs Erica G · Jun 2026

I first found Dr. April Joy on Instagram, and her content has been a steady anchor — keeping me tethered to the Lord and his truth in the middle of digital noise. She brings such a rare combination of deep personal faith, clinical expertise, and real patient experience. An absolute gift. Highly recommend.
