Best

I listen to many of the podcasts that 1517 produces and Kelsi’s is my favorite. Her gracious manner and thoughtful questions make it easy to listen yet it’s full of deep thoughts and theological discussions. Thanks Kelsi and 1517!

Drew from the Mitten State

Love the show

This is such a valuable podcast with great guests and topics. The only critique I have is that it is often hard to hear due to the volume level. Even with the volume all the way up it’s still quiet. If you could find a way to adjust the volume it would be a great help for listeners. Keep up the great work!!!
