What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I loved the episode with Mandy Capehart. It was really helpful to know that stepping away from the church can be very difficult and to know that others have walked this too and made it out ok. Very supportive episode.

J.B. Thorne · Nov 2025

It’s like eavesdropping a seminary study group but Kate and friends keep it so real and down to earth. I’ve learned so much.

PaisleysMom · Apr 2024

Thoughtful commentary on the Bible but not too heady. Fun to listen to but insightful as well.

Texvangelical · Jan 2023

I so appreciate Kate’s wisdom and clarity as she shared about the Kingdom. I feel like we are having coffee together and breaking the bread of the Word! Her episode on emotions was so timely as I go through the grief of a death in the family and heart pain in family relationships’ This is a must podcast for anyone needing a safe place for their heart Thank you Kate!
