    Some good content, but…
    I listen to this podcast because I do ministry with college students and young adults. However, I really don’t enjoy the chitchat and banter. I’m just here for the content. I started an episode this morning and I’m 15 minutes in, and all they’ve done is talk about the weather and their favorite seasons. I’m just not interested in the personal lives and likes and dislikes of podcast hosts.
  • bekkq1264
    Great podcast for all young adults
    I started to listen to Boundless several years ago when I was in my undergrad. I mostly listened because I did not like being single. Now fast forward seven years, I am married to a wonderful Christian man and expected my first child. This summer, I started to listen again and found a lot of good advice! I struggled to find contentment in my career. Thank you for talking about a variety of topics (singleness, career, politics, friendships, etc.).
  • Murphsan
    Wholesome and Awesome!
    What a great show for Christian single that touches on important topics like balancing work and personal life, owning our faith, dating with purpose, and preparing for marriage—all while honoring God. It's comforting to know that there are wholesome tipcs for navigating important season of adulthood, full of possibilities and choices. Thank you for creating this space.
  • emoji junky
    Love it!
    I am a single young adult and I have been listening for several years now! I enjoy Lisa and the team at Boundless! I am encouraged by what I hear and it’s helping me feel seen and heard as a single steeped in church culture. Thank you for all you do! God bless!
  • Cheriegirl
    A great podcast
    I really do look forward to this show every week. I love the discussions since the guests usually speak openly on the particular topics and reflect the practical application of the word in their lives. It’s a podcast to be recommended to every young person.
  • Kaley 🖤
    I love this podcast!!
    The Boundless Show has given me countless encouragement, insights into my own heart, and resources to help me navigate my faith in the world as well as strengthening my knowledge of Jesus! I highly, highly recommend this podcast, it’s truly a breath of fresh air every week! P.S. Happy birthday to Georgia! Hope you have a great day and an even better year! 🖤🖤
  • Camille.Eliz
    Great Show
    Love the variety of topics, the way it is geared towards young adults, and the variety in the way the content is presented. Thank you!
  • 64SquishyOranges
    Solid advice on dating and young adult life
    This is a great podcast if you want super practical, biblically grounded ideas about how to engage with dating and other adulting things!
  • Watterso
    Happy Birthday, Boundless
    Congratulations on 15 years of podcasting innovation, excellence, and fun. Thank you for encouraging another generation of emerging adults to live for the glory of Christ in the strength He supplies.
  • carlyrachel
    Love!
    I’m a married 25 year old woman and I love listening every week! Started by listening to Adventures in Odyssey at age 5 (and still do on occasion) and now listen to Boundless faithfully. Still very applicable for me as a married woman, even when episodes are about singleness - it helps me relate to single friends better and hopefully love them even better. And Lisa is such a great host and interviewer! She even helps me think of questions to ask women I’m discipling by her great question asking skills :) thanks Boundless!
  • Fluttering Breeze
    “Helloooo!” Listen to this podcast!
    I got big love for this podcast. And no small hate for the haters who hate on it. Lisa is a great host. I hear she’s a native of Minnesota, though unfortunately fled to the mild climate of California early in life. Hope I got that bio right. Anyway, I’m a native of Minnesota, too, but I probably shouldn’t say “native” like that cuz really, I’m a 5th Gen. German-Scandinavian implant. But anyway. Yay for the snow and cold. Glad you’re enjoying the palm trees, Lisa. And just between you and me—I get why you left. Though I hear you might be in Colorado these days. Hope the mountains make you happy. Garden of the Gods and all that. Anyway. Back to the podcast. You should listen to it. It’s great. Love Lisa and her humor. It’s drier than a raison in the Sahara Desert, y’all. Helloooo! (As Lisa would say.) You should listen to this podcast!
  • RickAbron
    Episode 792
    Rick A. from Texas. I couldn’t have picked a better time to have tuned into Boundless. Episode 792 was amazing . I really truly needed that, as I have been struggling back and forth with maintaining through my seasons of being a single man. Thank you!! I feel encouraged. God bless.
  • garden jsb
    Important for all ages
    I am 62 and have been a faithful listener for years I have been married for 40 years but I still find this podcast to be relevant and refreshing even though I am not your target market! I have learned so many truths and different perspectives over the years. I love Thursday because I know there will be a new episode to listen to. I also love the music and I wish there was a Christian radio station that played more of the music you showcase. Keep up the great work!
  • annesquivel
    Wow
    I’m really boundless thanks 🙏
  • I love u Lord
    Very Applicable
    I always look forward to my drive to work on Thursdays. This podcast has encouraged me greatly and it has blessed me immensely. I love ye round tables 🥹. Getting several opinions and thoughts on a topic and the way Lisa asks these questions, how creative. I’m thankful for the team at boundless. (PS, reviewing the podcast from my couch and certainly not while driving 😅)
  • KaisaTalaga
    Insightful
    Valuable perspective and very relevant content
  • angcoffeebean
    Amazing podcast
    I have been hooked on your podcast channel! Great topics, great conversations and very relevant to single Christians today! It’s been a tough journey but I don’t feel alone because there is always someone that can relate! Thank you for keeping it real and giving a biblical response to every question. Love your podcast!
  • judebug91
    Recommend to singles!
    I love the content in these podcasts! It’s basically for singles, although I was divorced, most of it still was applicable. I had been a listener for the last 4 years & loved it! There is so much good encouragement and good discussion. Now I’m remarried but would like my teenage ( Senior in high school) daughter to listen to. It’s not a girly show, though, it’s for both guys and gals!
  • babylover16
    Love this show!
    I just found this show last week & love it! I have been looking for a Christian singles podcast & this fits what I was looking for with even more that’s discussed. I’m making my way through some old episodes & enjoying them. So thankful for this show being available! Keep it up!
  • Funopod
    A Helpful and Positive Podcast
    I like The Boundless Show because it gives very positive and helpful advice on dating and walking with the Lord.
  • Sam the Nickman
    Always excited for a new episode!
    I’m always excited for Thursday because that’s when the boundless show have a new episode! I love how relatable and real the show talks about young adulthood, relationships, family, friendship, and real life problems. This show is my go-to work/driving podcast when I want to tap into some great advice and guidance! Thanks for all your production and effort!!!!
  • annarj22
    A practical, helpful and easy to understand show
    I enjoy listening to the Boundless show every week! Many helpful and relevant topics are discussed in a way that is easy to understand and that makes you think. Thanks for all the work you guys do at Focus on the Family!
  • K Tushka
    Single Father
    I’ve listened to Boundless for a couple months now, and I enjoy it! I would love for a few segments on being a single Christian father. I have not found any. Keep up the good work Miss Lisa!!
  • Catie :))
    Soooo good!!!
    I will definitely be telling all my single friends about this!! It can be easy to get discouraged as a Christian single but this podcast will give you so much encouragement!! The conversations are well thought out and filled with wisdom.
  • Grizzpaul11
    Grateful
    As a single man in my thirties, I’m grateful for a show that discusses singleness with the attempt at staying bliblical. I just listened to the Billy Graham: tech episode… I can confirm that I look to the ring finger and any ring makes me think a woman is not open to dating. Not that I’m very good at approaching either way
  • The Solon Rifle
    I’m married and listen most every week!
    I listen, in part, because I have a daughter and want to find the best way to understand where she’s at and how I can best encourage her. But also because it’s just refreshingly honest, especially for those of us who grew up in the church and are searching for ways to stop Jesus juking people.
  • Marz677
    Highly Recommend
    I regularly listen to the boundless show. It is relevant and applicable to multiple areas of life: faith, relationships, mental health, and culture being a few. I’ve grown so much and hope you give the show a try!
  • Beclamtz
    Awesome show
    A godsend for me. Over the last 8 years it has helped me navigate relationships and life issues. I’ve recommended the show to my sisters and all my friends. Thanks boundless and God bless.
  • klm1729
    My Favorite Podcast!
    I appreciate the intentionality that goes into The Boundless Show - it’s not just mindless entertainment; the topics are carefully selected, Lisa (the host) asks thoughtful questions, there are a variety of viewpoints represented, and the discussions cause me to stop and think more about life. I can always count on The Boundless Show for compelling content - I look forward to it every week!
  • Ironman919
    Love!
    Great source of light in truth in a fun and enjoyable format.
  • Raytader
    Encouragement
    As a young, single woman I relate to this show very well. There have been several episodes that God has used to confirm decisions in my life or used to give me a deeper understanding. Thank you!
  • Britjm
    Awesome podcast!
    I absolutely LOVE The Boundless Show! It’s the first podcast I’ve actually started listening to I believe and been listening ever since. I like how this podcast has three different segments of conversation. You get a lot out of just one episode. I also like how they talk about a variety of topics such as dating, Christianity, culture, etc. I highly recommend this podcast!
  • JordanTReader
    Encouraging and Practical
    Being a single Christian adult can feel isolating, especially when believers your age or older constantly push marriage and make you feel like you haven’t made it until you have a ring. Boundless gets it! They’re a voice that resonates with where we are and gives such good practice advice for all areas of life. I love being apart of this community knowing I’m not alone, and God can use us in any season of life ❤️
  • RSchneid0811
    LOVE boundless!
    I have loved boundless since I was a teenager. Lisa and everyone else at boundless has unknowingly blessed me with so much Godly wisdom and advice over the years with navigating dating and so many other things that come with being a Christian young adult . I am now happily married to a wonderful Christian man and still love to listen every week!
  • Natalie_Nasimba
    Boundless: A must listen
    I love boundless so much! I’m seventeen and it’s really preparing me for dating and possibly marriage some day.
  • Dukes of Hazard2012

    Today I scrolled across this podcast and got to listen to how the podcast flows. Plus got to hear more from JP! Very excited to get his book too. Thank you ☺️

    So good for single Christians, I feel such fellowship.

    Keeping It Real
    Great conversations and well rounded questions from Lisa. As a “thirty something” I enjoy hearing the variety of perspectives and many times can still relate to what is being said.
  • dad_father of 4
    Not single, but love the show
    I am a happily married guy, but also a father of 4 single young adults between the ages of 17 - 27. By listening to the show and especially the questions from the 20 somethings, I learn some of the things my daughters and son deal with, but are many times not speaking with me directly.
  • FSUSoccer
    Wide Selection of Topics
    Philosophically I am probably more centrist regarding religion and politics than the podcast’s guests but I find that it is fair and covers a wide array of life topics well.
  • Ashley6151997
    Fresh and honest
    I’ve been listening off and on for months. The honest conversation cuts across so many seasons and types of relationships. I really appreciate it. It’s not just for singles, but married, divorced, parents and friends. Also the format gives lots of different perspectives!
  • Rainbow Bubblegum
    Love it
    I just discovered this podcast a month ago and I wish I knew about it YEARS ago!! My favorite by far.
  • jehoppy11
    Love the show!
    Love this show’s relevance to my generation and to singles. This show gives me perspective on current issues and personal life matters. I’ve learned so much from it!
  • T.M. Russell
    Thankful for its relevance
    I’ve listened to the Boundless Show for years, across the arc of my single/dating/engaged/married seasons. This show had always been grounded in God’s Word, but I’ve noticed that it has become way more relevant for EVERYONE from any walk of life. They tackle major cultural, social, and political issues that make us all think deeper about applying the Gospel to our everyday lives. It’s no longer “that Christian dating podcast” - the show is so well-rounded, thoughtful, and articulate ! Well done.
  • Oothy
    My sanity💕👌
    I never write reviews for Apps, podcasts or whatever else. BUT this deserves it. I have been listening to Boundless for a few years now. I have grown so much from the table talk discussion to the interview segments and the questions in the inbox. I love the fact that this podcast covers such big area of topics. Love that they don’t always say things I like because it’s a great opportunity to grow. This podcast is a must! In a world full of ungodliness this podcast equips up to go in this world with wisdom, love and confidence. THANK YOU
  • Toystory07
    I love it!!!❤️
    I have been listening to Boundless for a few years now. I absolutely love the show! It is inspiring and encouraging to me to hear others stories and I have learned so much! Lisa, thank you so much for writing The Dating Manifesto! I have read it and re-read it over again. I am 31 and still single. I’ve been engaged once however God opened my eyes beforehand and realized it would be a horrible thing to go ahead and marry him so I broke the engagement off. That has been over 8 years ago! I know if God wants me to get married He will show me the One. Currently praying for my future husband. Continue to keep up the great work for us singles! I appreciate the Boundless team so much!!
  • KopMan17
    Excellent advice and insight but arrogance when it comes to theology
    The boundeless show is a great podcast. Every week, important issues are discussed and thorough bible based insight is given. For young Christians, the podcast offers a great outlet to wrestle with contemporary issues. The host, Lisa Anderson holds reformed views and quite arrogantly touts them as "correct theology," ignoring long standing theological debates in the church. Focus on the family is supposedly non-demoninational, but Anderson's rhetoric obscures that fact and possibly alienates non-reformed listeners. It would be great if one of her bosses spoke to her about it. Otherwise, great show.
  • Growinggoal
    Today’s was amazing.
    I’m a middle aged single and don’t always relate to the content but today they hit a grand slam. One of the speakers was so vulnerable commenting how he, in the past, had hid behind being the smartest, articulate or other crutches. But now he is continually challenging himself to be more transparent, to be present in relationships, and not to go back to past comfortable masks he hid behind. So refreshing when culture’s attitude is so rarely self-exploring or analyzing and even less planning a strategy for change based on the analysis. Loved it!!
  • DayE in the life
    Boundless fan from U.S. to China and back again!
    I have been an avid listener of Boundless from shortly after I graduated from college until now, at age 35. I’ve listened to Boundless in China, where I served as an English teacher for 7 years and here in the U.S. I’ve found that Boundless offers biblical insight on relevant topics for issues I face as a Christian young adult both in ministry and now in the secular workplace. When listening to Boundless I am reminded that I’m not alone: there is a community of other single 20-30 somethings seeking to live out their faith in the context of their relationships, careers, and communities. Thank you, Lisa and Boundless team, for this amazingly encouraging show!
  • Big Boundless Fan
    Makes my Thursday Mornings!
    I’ve been listening to The Boundless Show for two years since I graduated college. The show is consistently encouraging and actionable! Expect fun conversations with young singles and timely interviews with popular figures.
