Customer Reviews
sweet!!!
Great message and with great info. Listen and you will fall in love with their humor. Keep up the great work!!! Thanks so much
Thank you
This podcast has been extremely helpful for me. I have been in a volunteer role for about 8 years now and have recently taken on the role at another church as children's pastor on a part time basis. I haven't been able to really find people that could really break it down for me like this podcast has done. The discipline podcast really opened my eyes to things. I have just started at this church and they helped me see that it will help me to build my relationship with the kids in order to discipline them. It has been so great. I really appreciate what you have done
Any more episodes forthcoming?
Hey, James! I'm an avid listener and fan of Nobody's Listening. (Although I'm not on the forums, unfortunately, because I don't have e-mail and you have to have it to sign up for the forums. :( But I do love your show(s), including, but not limited to Geek <3's Nerd and this one.) I am a teen, not a youth minister, but I also really liked to hear this show...problem is there don't seem to be any more episodes yet. Are they coming soon? I hope so! Love you guys! ~"Jesusgirl Amy"~
