    Joyful!
    What a joy to listen to! Subjects are all over the map and always interesting and often fun. This is a church I would go to if I wasn't three states away.

    Informative, Entertaining, Welcoming!
    I began listening to The Church Basement a few months ago out of a desire to learn more about Christianity. I wasn’t raised in the church, and sometimes it can feel daunting to get information about the faith and how it all works as an adult—it seems like I should know already, or I worry about offending others with my questions and doubts. The Church Basement podcast gives thorough background on a variety of topics, and I feel at home with the brilliant and witty women! Whether you are a longtime Lutheran or a wandering wonderer, I highly recommend this podcast!
