Are You Humble? (Minisode)

I enjoyed listening to this minisode! I felt a lot of what was said related to me. Having to be humble enough to be able to apologize for your actions is amazing work. And I know I do it to a certain extent and pray that God will continue to guide me to be humble. “Lay down your pride and let God lift you up.” Definitely stuck out to me and will keep this in mind. When it comes to asking for help, that is where God is working on my pride for sure.

Ana Keeps it Real

Honestly….this podcast is awesome. Not only does Ana leave space for guests to bear their souls, she keeps it real herself. As a guest, I feel like I received as much as I shared if not more. Ana is such an awesome person. Just real. Raw. Unfiltered and understanding. Definitely a must listen podcast if youre looking for something real, relative and impactful.

Great podcast

Refreshing and thought-provoking podcast that dives deep into faith, real-life struggles, and God’s truth—without the fluff. It’s like sitting down with a good friend who isn’t afraid to ask the tough questions and keep it real. Encouraging, insightful, and packed with wisdom, this is a must-listen for anyone seeking authentic faith discussions!

Love the Edgy

I am thrilled to hear conversations about what has become controversial Christian topics. If the enemy can’t stop us, he will join us and he certainly has by weaving himself into books and TV shows etc. If we don’t know the Word, we will be deceived. Thank you, Ana, for your courage to speak on topics that might be uncomfortable for Christians.

Bold, Honest, and Thought-Provoking!

“Honest Christian Conversations” is a refreshing take on faith and truth. Ana brings a bold yet grounded perspective to Christianity, unafraid to tackle tough topics while staying rooted in evidence and faith. I appreciate her honesty and the way she allows listeners to explore and decide for themselves. A great listen for anyone seeking thoughtful and authentic Christian discussions!

Short & Sweet

Enjoyed how Ana immediately lets listeners know what to expect from an episode in a conversational way! She’s also vulnerable and shares bits of her story with her guests and audience and that makes her relatable. It’s easy to listen to Ana and her guests and be committed to your faith joy.

On Its Way

As a fellow faith-based podcaster, I’m giving this five stars. I think it’s on its way, and that the host is still discovering herself but she has a good heart behind it all, and the episodes are developing as she does. She is a good person and doing the Lord’s good work and the beauty of podcasting is that as many of us as there are, she’ll be the right person for someone or for people at the right time through God’s great plan. Keep up the work and truth👍🏻

A faith-based podcast I could get behind.

I’ve been listening to a few faith based podcasts lately. I’ve listened to a few of these and think Ana will be very good at this. I think the is very true to herself.

Heartfelt perspective

I relate to many of Ana’s topics and appreciate her passion for sharing the gospel. Listeners will appreciate her transparency and vulnerability. Production could use some attention with filler words - ums got distracting. Aside from that detail, Ana has a show that I’m sure will inspire listeners globally.

Great listen!

This is a great podcast to listen to when you want to hear Christian topics discussed in a real way, no sugar coating, no beating around the bush. She shares life stories and opinions and discusses topics that have a way of helping you look deeper into your personal walk with God.

Great insights

I’m admittedly a much bigger fan of hymns than contemporary praise songs because of the richness of the words. For me, it’s not about the style of music. I used to listen to Christian punk and there was far more scripture belted out to the throbbing base than the melodic contemporary songs. I didn’t realize how far off the theology is in much of the contemporary songs. I loved the review and detailed insights

Ana shared her thoughts and experiences so openly. Each episode is short, easy to digest and thought provoking. Although I don’t agree with every point Ana makes I enjoy the invitation for self reflection and introspection.

Conversations make a difference

Great to see more people starting podcasts to share their faith walk. So many are curious today about what Christianity means and looks like in our everyday life.

Relevant Topic

She honestly shared her “religious” challenges regarding Christian music. We need to carefully choose what we’re listening to. Worship music is to worship God, not the singers. God wants to hear us sing no matter how bad our voices may be. The music from our hearts is what He hears.

Interesting Perspective

It’s great to see other Christians sharing their faith journey with others. I found the music episodes to be interesting because I never thought much about this topic. Thanks for sharing your perspective.

An Honest Christian Conversationalist

I absolutely loved being interviewed by Ana. I think the title of her podcast is very appropriate, because I could tell that I was talking with an honest (and intelligent) Christian. When I listened later, I found that she had put the content together both professionally, and artfully. Well done, Ana! I would absolutely love to come back on your show.

Interesting Perspective on Faith

As a nonbeliever who was not raised in the Christian religion, I have always been curious about the nuances of it that are lost in mainstream discourse. This podcast is a great window into the mind of a Christian not afraid to express their curiosities about different subjects and their relation to faith.

About the Host

Ana Murby

Wife. Mother of five. Podcast. Fiction Novelist

Ana Murby is a wife, Fiction novelist, stay-at-home mom of five, and a prodigal saved by God's grace. She grew up with a legalistic Christian lifestyle where she didn't feel comfortable asking questions about her faith and why she believed what she believed. Ana abandoned her faith in her early twenties, and through those years as a prodigal, she did many things she was not proud of. Thanks to God’s steadfast love and heart for Ana, she returned to Him at thirty years old after a painful second marriage divorce, and she has never looked back.
After returning to Christ and realizing God had shown her so much grace and unconditional love, Ana started asking questions and making her faith her own. In that search for absolute truth, she found inconsistencies and lies within what she was taught as a child and even as a young adult. Ana started the Honest Christian Conversations podcast to help others find absolute truth amidst the lies and deceptions of wolves in sheep's clothing.
