  • Love the laughter and the deep thoughts

    I've listened to every episode of this podcast. I love the energy and chemisty of the hosts and I love hearing their stories in addition to their thoughts and questions on the scripture readings. There is a freshness and sincerity in this podcast that is special. It is meant for people who are both religious and are questioning their faith. I'm getting my son to listen also. He isn't religious but he loves the deep questions from Laura.
