Yesterday night I was really convicted about sharing the gospel with others. I knew I should be sharing it with everyone and anyone, but how? I asked God to show me. Today I randomly decided to give this random podcast a go and what other topic was it than sharing the gospel! It was just what I needed. Thank you! Y’all should definitely listen to this podcast.👍🏼

This podcast is the only one that I listen to, because I can’t seem to find one that compares. The camaraderie at the beginning has become so comfortable to listen to, and I love that like I’m listening to a conversation rather than a scripted agenda. And the religious discussions, are unbelievable. All of their guests have been insightful, and the fire that these people have for the LORD is truly inspirational and has led me closer to Christ. JP’s story in particular, and his constant referral to God’s grace is a fantastic demonstration of what life can look like for someone who is sold out on Jesus. These people leave no room to question the reality of God’s presence in our lives. Thank you Jesus for the courage and commitment of these fantastic people!

Listened to the episode about “News” featuring the founder of the PourOver. Overwhelmed by the level of weak in this. And then when he said he’s an MSNBC guy…well there you go. A guy who’s “nonpartisan” but watches that. The whole episode was glorifying ignorance. Don’t watch “too much news” don’t follow policies or have strong opinions. Christians like this are the reason over 60 million babies have been killed. There are a ton of better people to listen to. Go find serious people, not this.

Been listening for about a year now, and absolutely love the podcast. You guys have mastered the mix of being real, funny, and spiritually edifying. My only encouragement is to keep discussing the inward work of regeneration that is SOOO important for everyone to experience. A real relationship built with the Lord, His light shining in our hearts and conforming us into His image, and the long but rewarding process of sanctification He leads us on. The only limit to how much the Lord can sanctify us, is US.

Absolutely love the podcast, it was introduced to me by a friend a couple of years ago back in 2020 and it helped me climb out of a life of sin. I have learned a lot about modeling my life after Christ through listening to you guys. Now I am studying at seminary to become a pastor (Lord willing) and hopefully going to lead others in their walks with him, I also am engaged and we are thankful to have no regrets with our relationship and I believed honored God with it. I have a question, I have a friend who is dating and he is friends with a girl who is not his girlfriend and will occasionally text this friend. To what extent is that “wrong” or more accurately risky. Is it situational or universal how that type of dynamic should be handled? I remember a long while back you answered the question can you just be friends with the opposite sex and I was hoping this could bring some more clarity into if you can be friends with the opposite sex while in a relationship, and to what degree can you? I don’t know if my question will get seen or answered but I am super thankful for you guys, love y’all and God bless!

I love listening to you guys. I enjoy the fun banter in the beginnings of your podcasts and the wisdom you guys share. Also the fact that you guys are so open about life it’s really helpful for me and a lot of people. Please do not stop the work that’s Gods given you JP, Nate, and Cathy! Love you guys, can’t wait for the next episode 🫶🏻

I fear the danger of reaching self sufficiency in my walk with God. “Lord, please become more beautiful than useful to me”. Matthew 5:3

P L E A S E S I N G M O R E.

favorite podcast EVER!!!!

Honestly you guys are such a blessing to young adults! Have been listening to yall the last 2 years and just attended BeSo Live last week. Absolutely love the wisdom the three of you have 🫶🏼

1. Love the podcast, I feel convicted and more knowledgeable after every episode. 2. Do not stop the banter at the beginning of the show. It helps the listeners get to know you and connect with you as people. It’s my favorite part of the show in some ways because I come from a family who joke with each other a lot. If listeners don’t like the “fluff”, they can skip it. (Maybe use time codes) 3. I never thought I was truly addicted to gambling until I listened to your podcast and now I think I might’ve been.

You said something in the Episode about great sex, it was along the lines of “giving biblical truth between the laughter, friendship & sarcasm” and that is the PERFECT summary of your show! I love it so much!! So much wisdom with so much charisma and joy!

This is a phenomenal young adult Podcast!! I recommend it to fellow young adults. They are unashamed to touch on real and relevant topics. I actually don’t mind the small talk at the beginning. It helps set up the juicy stuff later.

🤣🤩

I enjoy the podcast but agree with a previous review that the banter at the beginning is way too long. I would much prefer jumping straight into the podcast discussion.

Have been listening to Becoming Something for a few years now! & I listen on Apple Podcasts. I’ve sent way too many episodes to close friends so a few now listen regularly :) Has led to so many fruitful conversations! So grateful for how each of you faithfully preach God’s word with grace & truth. I’ve had lots of hard convos after listening to episodes on confession, repentance, etc and have acquired some incredible tools to use when discipling others! The first few minutes are fun & encouraging. I love inviting new believers into a Christian community and showing them how joy & laughter permeate our conversations— the first few minutes are that for this podcast! Thank you for your steadfast commitment to equipping the next generation! Myself & so many others have benefitted greatly from y’all’s teaching & words of wisdom and truth! Love from AU in Wilmore, KY 🙌💗

I listen on Apple Podcasts I found this podcast from watching The Porch ministry years back. Love how y'all handle the word of God and you’ve helped my spiritual walk so much. If anyone is reading this I HIGHLY recommend this podcast above any other for any Christian at any point in their walk in their 20s and 30s especially. The living waters podcast and you guys are my go to podcasts! Love from Ohio!

Absolutely love the podcast. Been listening for a couple of years. Would love to hear a podcast on how to practically preach the Gospel in our everyday lives. Thank you!

Good morning, My wife and I write this in love. We’re in our mid 30s in Connecticut, so may not be target demo and potentially an outlier. Both working people with limited margin. So we prioritized this show. And we were faithful listeners until the intro got too long and it seemed 10-15 minutes sometimes would be fluff. Frankly, you’re all awesome but we’re not here for that. Save the banter for off recording and dive right into the topic, using scripture as a foundation. Thank you, Bart from CT

Thank you guys for all your do! Have listened for awhile and have been encouraged and strengthened by your podcast. 1) I listen on Apple podcast 2) Becoming something was original brought to me by a close friend texting me a episode.

I listen on Apple podcast

This weeks episode was extremely disappointing. The brief politics talk was just plain idiotic. Dems support mass murder of the unborn, they literally dismember these kids in the womb. They support the LGBT alphabet and trans morons which is obviously not biblical. They’re allowing mass illegals which is against the LAW. DemocRATS do not follow the word of God. Kathy’s uneducated opinion, she didn’t know the word CAUCUS or how to pronounce Ramaswamy who is extremely brilliant and while not a Christian has morals and values very similar to ours. The “news” app she mentioned is straight propaganda and we were warned about MASS DECEPTION which is what the “news” is. Please do some actual research and know what each party supports before putting this out to your many followers. Man, I’m so disappointed. This is the most important time in history, look up the WEF and their plan for us “peasants”. Vote SMARTLY, with FACTS 🙄 and prayer.

I don’t listen to many podcasts, but I love this one. When I feel disconnected or struggling in a certain area of my life I can always find an episode that relates to what I’m going through. (Listening on Apple Podcasts)

1. I listen in Apple Podcasts 2. When I read Practicing the Way by John Mark Comer, and in his first few pages of the book he said we are all “Becoming Something”, I thought of y’all. Dream come true when Nate called him out for it 😂 Keep it up!

I almost never listen to podcasts, but my wife texted it to me and insisted I check out this one. So much truth in this conversation. The freedom of 100% isn’t even a comparison for the 99%. I’ve needed a replacement for social media and doom scrolling, so thank y’all for making it easy. I’ll enjoy more episodes on the regular. And not least of all, I got to find out that there is a place for us vertically challenged people in volley ball.

My husband and I listen on Apple podcast! Y'all discussion about deep topics that bring us to really think. Also, yalls laughing is so contagious we love it!!

I listen on Spotify & I only found you guys bc one of my friends took a screenshot & posted it on her Snapchat story to share how a specific episode was good. & then I was hesitant to listen bc I thought yawl were Baptist (if you are great) but I definitely assumed there wouldn’t be any bread or meat if you know what I mean lol. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. This has become one of my fave podcasts to listen to! I listened to the episode 151: How to Abide and it marked me. Because that’s my word for the year, Abide. The girl (idk her name, sorry lolol) was talking about abiding & said “Jesus + nothing” & as soon as she said that, the Holy Spirit inspired me to name that my podcast. And so I abided & didn’t let fear hold me back from what I know God is asking me to do. Then I bought everything I need to start a podcast after years of dreaming and praying about it. I’ll be releasing the first episode soon :) also super funny, I went to passion, was marked by Jonathan pokludas message & didn’t realize that he was the host of becoming something until I came back home and saw his name again 😂 blessings to you all if you read this far hahah. ♥️

The first five minutes of every episode seem to be pointless bantering between the show hosts, and I especially don’t love how they make Nate the butt of all of the jokes. If you can get through or skip this part, the show itself has wonderful content that I know will have a great impact on young people who need encouragement and guidance toward God amidst all the distractions and lies they’re facing today.

My husband and I have been avid listeners to the Becoming Something Podcast for a little while now. Both of us have listened to this episode three times each. There is so much power and truth in what these three talk about. Thank you so much for having this discussion. I’ve been praying about who to share this episode with - truthfully I think anyone and everyone I know can benefit from it in some way. My husband and I have both been praying for God to reveal to us the areas where we may have to “back up [our] No’s.” Again, thank you three so much for this discussion and this podcast. You’ve had such positive impacts on many peoples faith and their walks with Christ.

I don’t think I’ve ever left a review on anything before, but this podcast has genuinely transformed my life. The ways God has continued to work in my life through this podcast over the past few years have been unbelievable. I graduated from a small Christian high school, and by the time I left, almost everyone there had begun listening and fallen in love with this podcast (I’m still trying to convince the board to incorporate it into their curriculum, but we’ll see haha). God is doing big things through this ministry, and I truly believe that you will not only benefit from listening to Becoming Something but that it just might change your life as well.

Each episode has been so thought(& spirit)-provoking. I find myself without a ton of discipleship but I find podcasts in general to be a wonderful supplement to discipleship. Thank you for being out in the Podcast World. Can’t wait for more! God bless each of you. 💕✨

Much love

Big fan of the show, started from beginning and have listened through just about every episode. It’s a listen that’s relatable, engaging, humorous, and life giving. Also, I’m really really glad that Kathy is back. She keeps the chemistry together, and no offense to the female guest speaker who took her spot- but I thought the vibes were a little off, and to be honest I am wrestling with how to feel about bigtime Christian influencers who constantly showcase their products and themselves, who are making a large profit off of their fame… if it is for God’s glory or their own..? Or is that not for me to judge at all? I am unsure and so I hope to not be too cynical or wrong in any way, but I do feel a lot of more quiet people who don’t use social media as much feel a similar way as many of the videos I see of influencers on media I cannot help but simply feel uncomfortable or cringe a bit.. Anyway, glad Cathy is back- she’s down to earth and keeps it real fo sho.

I realize the opening to this podcast says for 20 and 30 somethings, but it works for mid forties too! The banter hooked me the first time I listened. I laugh and learn with each episode!

I listen to this podcast daily! It gives me a good laugh and most importantly has transformed my walk with the lord. They break it down so easily, and I’m so thankful that they do it out of the kindness of their hearts. It helps me get to know them past who they are on the stage and feels like I’m having a conversation with fellow Christian friends! I recommend this podcast to everyone!!

I love this podcast so much. It has genuinely helped me grow my relationship with God. The podcast is entertaining and informative. I always look forward to listening!

I’ve been listening for a while and I love this podcast! But I agree with another review, I like the podcasts the best when it is just the 3 of you. I love how practical the advice is and appreciate that aspect of it!

No one should EVER speak on mental health especially saying “most mental health problems come from a place on pride” in his book “Why do I do what I don’t want to do” when has has zero training or validity to what he’s saying. The undertones in the way he speaks are extremely judgmental and I am a devout Christian born and raised in this south. He is a prime example of a toxic Christian leader.

I am an attorney in my 30s in Washington, DC. I can’t count the number of times I have been walking up to a law firm, a think tank, the Capitol, or the Supreme Court with my AirPods in, listening to BeSo. So grateful for how the BeSo team is discipling listeners around the world, all from Waco, TX. (I’ve also turned a lot of my lawyer friends onto BeSo - your legal following is bigger than you think!)

I’m a stay at home mother with 4 kids, i’m in my late 20’s and this podcasts helps me add joy into my life to love others and live the way God intended.

Goodnight.

This podcast is a haven for young adults and college students seeking purposeful direction. The real-life questions tackled are incredibly relatable, and the guidance offered is both practical and spiritually grounded. An essential listen for anyone navigating their 20s and 30s. Five stars!

I’m 26/married & this podcast has been one of the most influential resources for interpreting the Bible & my walk with God. I appreciate the vulnerability & wisdom that each person brings to the table!

This podcast has helped me tremendously in many areas from dating to just my general walk with Christ!

This is a GREAT resource for young adults. As a discipler I love to use this podcast as a reference. And personally, it’s been really helpful for me as I grow in Christ. They put ideas and concepts into words backed by scripture. I highly recommend starting from the beginning of the podcast. I started listening back in 2019 and the podcast came out with two different episodes on breakups and then I went through a breakup. Super helpful resource in how to walk through that well. The only thing I could say against it is that I don’t like the guest speakers. I thoroughly enjoy when it is just the three of them, but there’s so many guest speaker episodes lately and I feel like that just detracts from the value of the podcast. Overall, I love this podcast and the people!! My ex introduced me to this podcast and if it wasn’t for her, I would’ve missed out on so much. And today, my wife and I value this resource to this day. God truly has a reason for everything. Thank you, JP, Kathy, Nate, and all others who make this podcast into the amazing resource it is!!

Every single episode has helped me grow closer to God, and I’m excited to see how the Lord will use this platform to spread the Word!

They discuss so many topics in depth. Probably the most informative Christian podcast I’ve listened to.

Thank you for talking about topics the church too often shies away from. You keep the conversation honest and real. And funny. Your banter is hilarious; the three of you have something really special. This podcast inspires Christian 20- and 30-somethings to life their faith, being real and honest, with an uncompromised love for Jesus. Kudos!

I never knew a podcast could both open God’s word to me so deeply AND make me laugh out loud! Thank you guys so much for blessing the world with this podcast and for being so raw and HUMAN with us. You guys make being a Christian feel so much more accessible for those who worry they need to be perfect before they can be loved by Christ. AND you remind us that being a Christian can be fun! I can’t thank you enough. Ps. We miss you, Kathy! 💖

Thank you so much for this podcast! I have received so much wisdom from it! May God keep using you all! Thank you for applying biblical truth and biblical knowledge to problems young adults face every day. This podcast has been such a blessing. JP is a wise, Godly man! He speaks biblical truth. Nate is a hilarious and wise Godly man as well. (Thankful that he’s in this podcast!) Kathy is a lovely, wise, Godly woman and such a sweetheart. You all make a great team! Grateful for all of you, and thank you for speaking truth into our lives. Update: I missed Kathy so much!!!! 😭😭😭❤️ Thank you for bringing her back.
