  • HM JT
    Great advice, too much talking by Rebecca
    Danny gives great advice and is the professional expert and experienced parent. While Rebecca has some good insights and examples/stories, she makes too many random comments and vocalizations while other people are talking (“mmm” and “yeah”). A few vocalizations is natural, but hers are excessive. She is just another parent like we are, not a trained professional. So we want to hear from Danny more.

    Top parenting podcast
    Can’t say enough good things about this podcast. Danny and Rebecca have such compassion, so apparent in their voices, their conversation, the guests they have on. They have practical ideas, compelling wisdom, and some light-hearted moments. Bringing it back to what He promises in His Word has more than once been a conduit of God’s peace flowing in during some really despairing parenting challenges. Thank you, thank you for putting the message of His faithfulness out there for us seeking Him in the storm.

    It’s good to feel seen
    Thank you for your recent episode on parenting (and specifically fatherhood) anxiety. Anxiety has played such a strong roll in my story, and I’m thankful for the work God is still doing in my life through shows like yours. Cheers!
