Customer Reviews
Great family, great podcast!
David & Allyson serve out entertaining slices of real life for an active, faithful family in concise segments. They even include children's book reviews...by their children!
AWESOME!
I have been listening to David and Allyson (and the kids) for about 6 months now. It has been just about 2 months that my 7 and 3 year old want to listen every morning on the way to school. The hit podcast was "A Reading from the Book of Deuteronomy". My second grader shared that story at school and his teacher (a cathloic school nun) could not stop laughing. Thanks for the laughs, stories, and great words of wisdom
another great podcast
unassuming & "earthy"; my son loves this p-cast
