Lots of apps are helpful and informative…this one is life changing! Wild at Heart and Captivating both have been teaching me and walking me through my journey, encouraging and empowering. I recommend this to all my friends.

This is one of my most favorite podcasts to listen to. I have many that I like and really enjoy listening to podcasts but I am always looking forward and waiting for the next episode of Wild At Heart to air. Captivating is great too. It really helps me go deeper in my relationship with Jesus, thank you. It has helped me during some really dark times I know the Holy Spirit led me to your ministry. There’s many people around me that I wish would listen to it including my husband. But they haven’t… yet. I just want to shake people around me sometimes because I feel as though we’ve all been asleep -we need God an intimate relationship not just go to church once a week, serve here and there, say a few prayers every now and then. I’ve needed a close relationship with my Heavenly Father and this podcast has helped me on that journey. I’ve needed to really know Him. There was a lot of dysfunction in my home growing up and I haven’t had a close relationship with either of my parents like I’ve longed for. So intimacy has been hard for me. In all my relationships I’ve struggled to really connect and feel close to people. I’m good at putting up walls. Learning to be with Jesus has changed everything for me. I’m still on a healing journey. Just sitting in His presence I’m learning to enter His rest and receive His love. There’s been so much warfare against me and my family. I related so much to your reference to Frodo I feel so much like him and the friend you mentioned that asked Why does it have to be so complicated? My heart was crying out when that was said because that’s how I’ve felt. I appreciate the truth you all bring and God has been so close to me right in the middle of the darkest moments. Thank you all for your spiritual maturity, authenticity, your own stories and wisdom, please keep sharing with us.

These podcasts are consistently enlightening about the times we live in. The podcast here at the beginning of 2025 are shedding light on the spiritual realities of our current moment. I have found them to be very worthwhile and I am looking forward to the rest of this series.

These podcasts are life-changing. If restoration and transformation of your life is what you are after, the podcasts will open up new fields of goodness to you. As someone who has listened to every podcast since they first came out, I can say that they have only gotten better and better. The current series on deep discipleship has convinced me that I must become a true disciple of Jesus if my life is to improve.
Rob Vandiver · Sep 2024
Giving one star as it seemed to appear as if it was revolutionary insights into a relationship with Jesus. While I think there is some wisdom to be found in the episodes, it’s starting to feel self promoting and sales pitchy for the wild at heart materials. Also a tad self boasting. I guess my point is if it is really that good at you’re doing it for Jesus, shouldn’t that speak for itself. One shouldn’t need to self promote, or self boast about their repertoire of work. Thank you for hearing me out. Much love brother.
