I was raised Catholic and always practiced my faith with a grain of salt, a sprinkle of doubt. I felt a deep calling to understand God beyond a worldly version. I used to explain to my kids that the Bible was like a complicated game of telephone where there were many iterations of the Word...Read full review »

I’ve known Lauren for 10 years. Her passion for justice, her love for God, and commitment to leaving every space better than she found it are contagious. I am thankful for her courageous voice.

When Lauren talks, I listen. Full of wisdom, grace, and truth; this podcast will challenge, encourage, and spur you on to thinking more ethically about missions and ministry.

Since Lauren first announced her podcast, I have been excited to download and listen. I appreciate the sharing of her experience, knowledge and perspective on IG, and her podcast continues these important and tough conversations. It has opened my eyes, and I can’t wait to listen to future episodes.

So thankful that Lauren is raising the issues of race, culture, and colonialism as it relates to the Christian faith. Even more thankful that she is proving a space for non-westerners to share their perspectives for everyone to hear. This is a great place to allow our faith to be challenged and...Read full review »

I stumbled upon Lauren on Instagram sometime in the last year (maybe after Uvalde) and have looked to her as a voice in a Christian space while I grapple with the nuance that I wasn’t provided growing up. I love that Lauren doesn’t shy away from the hard questions and I am looking forward to...Read full review »

I have followed Lauren for quite some time and have always trusted her to address challenging topics with grace, nuance, and care. I’m so excited to continue listening as she lends her voice, and uplifts the voices of others, to talk about how to navigate the messiness of a shaken faith.
Adriann_MA via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/23/23
I always enjoy Lauren’s content because she brings the kindness and insight needed to talk about hard stuff in a empowering way. I’ve learned so much in following her on instagram and I’m excited for what’s to come through the podcast.

Nick on a bike via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/23/23
I’ve been an Instagram follower of Lauren for almost a year now and her account has been a balm to my very weary soul. My views on American Christianity have been on shaky ground and has left me with more questions than answers. Lauren’s account has provided me with a more gospel centered and...Read full review »

I have long been so thankful for Lauren’s leadership, wisdom and voice. Her presence on Instagram has been such a helpful one as I have worked to navigate what faith looks like in present turbulent times. Having returned from life overseas (far earlier than I wanted or hoped), Lauren had been so...Read full review »

Lauren has been a favorite IG follow of mine for a while and I’m soooo excited for her to host this podcast. This has already been so good and I can’t wait for what’s ahead!
Kate...10 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/21/23
As someone who has been watching Dr. Lauren Pinkston’s deep dives on Instagram for years, a more formal production of her thoughts on Christianity, missions, and culture is such a blessing! Her knowledge range is impressive and I’ve never walked away from a conversation that she’s held without...Read full review »
Olivia Jaques via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/20/23
This podcast is such a wonderful intersection for evangelism and hard hitting cultural questions! As someone who has doubts about the church’s reputation in modern America, this podcast has been such a relief for me to dive deeper into those issues and see that there’s a community genuinely...Read full review »

I’ve been following Lauren on Instagram for a while, and I love that she advocates for a holistic view of missions that truly serves the global church, rather than just our egos or our white savior complex. I work with international students here in the US, and I regularly encounter Christians...Read full review »
Katie Si via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/18/23
I started following Lauren during the pandemic and have stayed because she is a voice of acceptance and reason. This podcast has hit places deep in my soul already and there’s only 3 episodes which I binged in one sitting and will be listening to over and over to catch all the morsels. Don’t...Read full review »

Lauren does a beautiful job of creating a safe, welcoming space to ask hard questions and wrestle through tough conversations. She is brilliant and thoughtful while holding space for nuances. I’m excited to follow along and keep learning from these conversations.
DaQueeeen via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/18/23
I love getting to learn from Lauren Pinkston and the guests she has on the show. There’s such a need in western Christianity to explore hard topics and ask uncomfortable questions about why we do what we do especially around the topic of missions. Thanks for going there!
Katie Axelson via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/18/23
I am loving these honest and deep conversations. So very needed!!
DGandy77 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/17/23
I’ve listened to the first 2 podcasts & they are incredible! I’m inspired to have these hard conversations. I think this podcast would be a great “book club” kind of podcast. You & friends/family both listen & then discuss after. Thank you Lauren & guests for sharing!
kelscam_ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/17/23
This podcast has me eagerly anticipating each release. It’s filled with important conversations that balance the obvious love the host and her guests have for their fields of expertise and the deep felt convictions they have seen within those fields. You’re sorely missing out on some very wise...Read full review »

This podcast challenges me to think outside of my worldview and cultural norms. I’m so grateful for Lauren and her ability to facilitate important conversations that I may otherwise not engage in. I already feel like the Lord is stretching and growing me in the best ways.
Bubbleconiption via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/17/23
I’m one episode in and I absolutely adore this podcast already!!! The conversations are powerful, relevant, and honest. I’ve gotten to cheer Lauren on for a few years as this came to fruition and now it’s finally here!!! It’s phenomenal. Can’t wait for more!

Love this so much! A podcast to learn and grow and be challenged with! Can’t wait to listen to all that is to come!
KJenkins5 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/16/23
I love upwardlydependent and Kindred Exchange because their whole perspective is rooted in a more honest, open and loving relationship with God and recognizes that churches are imperfect because that they are made of fallible human beings. I am not an over religious person but I hope to always do...Read full review »

I just listened to episode 1, and WOW! Loved it! When Sara Billips described her experience growing up in the church, she could have been describing mine! If you are feeling like it’s harder and harder to hold on to your faith in the current white American church, this podcast is for you.
K..D..D via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/16/23
Lauren has long been one of my favorite truth-tellers and Jesus followers. She’s honest and kind, she helps us all see things from more of a gospel-centers lens and I can’t wait to see what she has in store in this podcast. Let’s keep learning from each other!
BMinTX via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/16/23
So much compassion around topics that can be so difficult to manage. So much grace with every word spoken. So thankful for this space created by Lauren!
Arlene EA via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/16/23
These are the kinds of conversations we need to be having in the missions world and as global citizens. I’m so grateful for Lauren and her perspective and have already been challenged to think deeply by these episodes.

I finally had a few quiet minutes to listen to the trailer and WOW…So good! I can’t wait for the conversions to come. What necessary discussions for the church as a whole and for us individually. Lauren’s ability to facilitate dialogue on challenging topics in love is unrivaled.
AshMHankins via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/02/23
I’m looking forward to Lauren’s podcast and guest interviews. I respect her thoughts and opinions and how she strives to weave faith and dependence on God with respect for others and their cultures. I can’t wait to learn from her and her guests!
