“The severe lack of empathy in some of these reviews is staggering. Someone’s spiritual and religious journey is deeply personal, and organizations that exploit that do immeasurable harm to religious adherents. It’s wonderful to hear Noemi’s analysis of a church like Hillsong as well as their...”Read full review »

“You went to a Christian church, volunteered too much of your time knowing you wouldn’t be paid and they didn’t accept your gay lifestyle sooooo that means life or death? You grew up a Christian you know what the church believes, it’s not a surprise. As a grown adult, you also don’t need to...”Read full review »

“Continuity of story is really poor because of the vast number of adverts and constant music. Could be so much better.”

“Good “panel”, well produced. Interesting subject. The goods never really show up. The whole thing winds up being “these people are gross, here’s the references on that, and they treated me and my friends poorly”.
There’s nothing terribly new about Hillsong, nor investigations or thought into...”Read full review »

“Came here for the scandal and what I got was a minister’s child who has an emotional support dog because a church didn’t change its theological framework to suit there needs.
I’m sure some bad stuff went down at Hillsong, but according to this podcast, about the worst thing that happened is...”Read full review »

“Hillsong was/is a false Church focused on profits. What I hoped to hear was your stories about that & instead so far, I am hearing about people who are living alternative lifestyles that want the church to bless it. The Bible is not a la carte & it sounds like these people wanted a church...”Read full review »

“Noemi, I just wanted you to know that everyone reading these reviews can tell that the negative ones come from a place of pettiness. I haven’t even listened to the podcast yet but I know that you are amazing and strong. I’m so sorry that you had to read those horrible words from mean spirited...”Read full review »

“This podcast is not really about Hillsong and their scandals and more about this persons journey and the pain they experienced being gay at a church. A lot of lacking of understanding of the actual Bible and focused more on the want of what they ideally wanted to happen.”

“I listened to the entire thing, hoping I was wrong and it would get better. It never did. The podcast lacks actual substance. It is predominantly made up of people talking about how individuals at Hillsong hurt their feelings or they didn’t feel valued enough. Very little was objective or...”Read full review »

“Some good, interesting journalism about Hillsong and their many issues. But later episodes get stuck in the weeds of identity politics and personal stories and lose the arc of the earlier episodes.”

“This whole podcast just to say the church didn’t accept her because she’s queer? Come on! I could have told you that would happen. I don’t understand why people are so surprised. Everyone and their mamas know that most Christian (most, not all) churches do not look kindly at the LGBTQA community....”Read full review »

“Probably the least interesting Hillsong documentary podcast out there, focusing too much on the presenters personal struggles to fit in and not the real issues with churches like this.”

“I came to this, very curious about the organisation, not being a member, but having a lot of friends that were. I had been a member of many Pentecostal churches for at least 40 years.
I had a personal revelation that I had been trained since very young to offer my labour for free, and I have...”Read full review »

It’s mostly people complaining that they weren’t paid to volunteer, how they are seeing all their experiences through a different lens now...”Read full review »

“I like this show, I really do, but there are WAY too many ads. They’re advertising three other podcasts twice during a single episode. Also the episodes feel more like book chapters, with no introduction or refresher between episodes. I don’t remember what I ate for breakfast, I definitely don’t...”Read full review »

“Am done after the first 15 minutes. Slow; needs serious editing for impact. I am sure hillsong is jacked up, but no way I can commit to listening at this pace. Feels amateurish and self-indulgent.”

“If anyone has attended church before, they will notice that many of the things that the narrator posts in a negative light can be equally seen in a positive light (as they shed light on multiple times throughout the episode) for example: “we covered the ATM’s because we didn’t want it to be money...”Read full review »
