Thank you for following your calling & creating this podcast! I just recently started listening & my heart is touched by your episodes especially the mini ones where you pray over our children. Sometimes I feel as though my prayers can get repetitive but I do mean it with my whole heart each time I pray over my kids. But thank you for your beautiful, powerful prayers! Wonderful podcast! I feel so blessed that I came across it! Thank you!

Just started listening to this and I love it! I have a four year old boy and one year old girl and my heart’s desire is to raise them up to know and love Jesus! It seems so counter cultural and hard to do sometimes! Listening to Courtney’s podcast reminds me that there are other moms who have similar goals and hearts for Jesus! She is so encouraging!

Practical, but rooted in God’s truth & love. As the youngsters would say, it’s fire 🔥 (without the brimstone😉😆)!

Courtney DeFeo -so funny, one of the best hosts! She’s so real - she helped me learn to laugh - instead of cry in the chaos. Real Christian Parenting Content that really is helpful and uplifting even in hard times. I’m learning how to pray better for my kiddo and learning daily how I really can just trust God with all of it, everything- yesterday today and tomorrow. Just listen to one episode and you will know what I mean about real, funny and helpful. Even if ur not a Christian- Be prepared to be hooked on this podcast.

There are so many great parenting advice podcasts out there. But I really appreciate how real Courtney is in Pardon the Mess. Raising kids is so fun and so hard, and this podcast gives real-life applications that you can implement in your family.

Courtney is so wise and enjoyable as a host. She has the best guests and she naturally asks the questions we all want answered. I’m always encouraged and better equipped after each episode.

Just found you on Instagram. Even though I have adult children I find the advice still applicable to my mama’s heart.

Thank you, from one Courtney to another. I found your episode Nov 2023 on being light in the darkness and Charlie’s story so inspiring. There is nothing more contagious than the Spirit of the Lord and His great work in the lives of His people, saving, restoring, re-creating and cleansing and making all things new.

Being a Christian parent is getting harder and harder. This podcast is both refreshing and encouraging to stay in the game as a Christian dad and husband.

This has wonderful content. Very helpful for mom’s of all ages. Great podcast to wake up to in the morning and refresh your day. The only negative I saw with the entire thing was one advertiser. Blue stream, certainly not the most appropriate advertisement. And this had nothing to do with the actual show.

This podcast isn’t just for parents. It’s for anyone wanting useful tools for life. I’ve loved every episode! So many interesting guests who are making an impact in the lives of others. The content is inspiring and uplifting. Courtney is an amazing interviewer. Can’t say enough good things.

this podcast is great. Really good. Teaches me a lot about parenting

I'm always looking for resources on this motherhood journey that are faith focused. I have LOVED these episodes that are so relatable and help me in growing as a mom.

Courtney and the PTM crew are a wealth of knowledge for any parent. They balance inspiration and practicum in a way that’s a lifesaver to the parent who feels they’re thriving or failing. I’d recommend to anyone!

Courtney is just one of those people who makes you feel like she is on ~your~ side. Her take on everything is fresh, wise, comforting, loving, funny, and REAL.

Love this podcast and Courtney’s heart for parenting. Every single episode has a great takeaway!

Love Courtney and so grateful she’s carrying on the Pardon the Mess legacy. Don’t miss an episode - great things happening on this show!

There’s a good and exciting feeling when you are a few episodes in a new podcast and you realize you have a new podcast for your daily commute! I am not a mom yet, but so thankful that I have something like this to get me thinking about things that might be a topic of conversation for me in the next few years as my husband and I pray about starting a family. And by the way, the fact that you got Courtney DeFeo on here is such a plus!! So relatable and hilarious. I feel like I am sitting with my besties over coffee in the morning !! I can’t wait to hear about her mom, Journey, and Chick-fil-A jokes 🤣🥳

Really enjoyed Courtney’s podcast!! Funny, relatable and applicable in this world of raising kids. It’s not the same as when we were growing up and I am thankful for Courtney and Christian Parenting for Christian advice and parenting help that I can trust!

Enjoyed listening to today’s podcast! Funny, informative and relatable!!!

I am so excited for Courtney to be the new host! She is funny, genuine, and wise but always points us back to Jesus!

Cynthia, you have been a fixture in my car daily for years and I’m so thankful for this podcast that has encouraged and challenged me. I’ve already subscribed to your new podcast and will continue listening to this one. You have made me laugh and cry and feel like a friend:) Thankful for your wisdom and desire to point parents to the Lord. Thank you and good luck.

I was just venting about my time management and how I never seem to get all the things I want done and every day it’s just the same thing. Your most recent podcast felt like a sign from God. I love all you and you have to say Cynthia and you are so warm, inviting and authentic. keep up the great work! I love your podcast.

It sounds dramatic, but I don’t know how I’d be parenting my two kids without Cynthia. And somehow her episodes always center around a topic that I so desperately need help with in that exact moment. Her Monday episodes of praying the Psalms over our kids are so wonderful. Her episodes seriously refuel me every time I listen, and I genuinely believe that I am a much better parent and follower of Christ because of them. Thank you, Cynthia!

This podcast shares biblical and realistic insight about parenting, marriage, and tough personal issues. I love that because they are all needed in our homes to live that life that God wants for us all. Thank you Cynthia and guests! ~Chari, Self-Care Coach for Moms

Cynthia and her family are so wonderful - in my opinion! I always listen on my way to or from work - and I always feel like I am in the room. I love how relatable she is and how I don’t feel like I would be judged in my Christian home! Thank you for sharing topics that are oh so relatable - even to me who is new to this season of motherhood.

A girlfriend recommended this podcast to me at the beginning of the year. I have loved every minute I've listened to. As a mama of 3, 4-11+ she and her guest have so much wisdom and Truth to share and impart.

Love this podcast! It’s so encouraging, and full of Biblical wisdom and advice on parenting. Cynthia is gifted with a wonderful sense of humor and does a great job of “keeping it real”.

Cynthia, Thanks so much for the work you put into this podcast. I have received blessing after blessing after blessing from the messages and interviews and book recommendations. I feel that I’m able to have better faith talks with my kids because of the insights I’ve gained from your show. Keep doing the good work!

As a mom of 2 boys, Cynthia’s podcast is such a wonderful encouragement to me! I can trust Cynthia and her wisdom!

I teach Sunday school to elementary students and this podcast is helpful to me to help steer and support my students and their parents

I love finding podcasts that support my parenting abilities, with God’s word. The experts all bring something different to the show, and I love how relatable it all is!

I have been listening off and on for several years. It chose to do the weekly prayer guide this year. What a blessing!!! It starts my week in the right place and has been such a guide to me and how I parent. I will be doing this yar after year now. Keep up the amazing work!!

Pardon the Mess is one of two parenting podcasts that I listen to on a regular basis. The Lord always knows what I need and speaks to me through Cynthia. She is real, relatable, honest and hilarious. Do yourself a favor and tune in to hear a word from the Lord about this sometimes-messy job of parenting!

Love praying for my kids on Monday and then getting such wisdom, fun, and parenting insight on Thursday! Such a blessing!

This podcast has truly been a light, comfort, and calm for me! I look forward to listening each week, and even go back and listen to the ones I’ve already heard! I love how relatable and real Cynthia is—so I know I’m not the only mama going through this! Thank you Cynthia for being such a blessing!

Thank you for showing up with holy nuggets of goodness. A blessing each and every podcast!!

This is one of my favorite podcasts! Such a blessing to my life.

This podcast has been such a blessing to my life and my children’s’ lives. I’ve been listening to it for about a year. I truly feel God’s loving presence through Cynthia’s words. Thank you!

My third year praying for my kids with her- no doubt this wi and has caused eternal value!

The prayer over our children’s salvation and into the school year was one of the most beautiful prayers I’ve encountered. Thank you.

Such good conversations filled with humor and knowledge!! It’s what I listen to while my 2 year old naps and I cook and clean. Something I look forward to! You are an awesome, funny lady.

This Podcast is wonderful and I really enjoy listening

I so appreciate this podcast! I appreciate the realness of it, even the title “Pardon the Mess” - that is so relatable some days lol I appreciate some of the more uncomfortable topics that are discussed, for those of us who are on the introverted side and how to broach these things with our littles from a biblical aspect.

Came across Pardon the Mess about a year ago and have really enjoyed actively listening. As a mom of 3 young ones everything is always encouraging and insightful. They are a great length to listen to during errands or on a walk. Really appreciate all the resources and the hope that Cristina brings!

I love this, I love the guests, I have recently started listing to podcasts! I now follow a few that she has had on! Thank you for making my mess seem normal. Update I have now been listing to podcasts regularly! And this and “feeding the mouth that bites you” are hands down my favorites!

This is my favorite podcast! I always look forward to the weekly episodes. Cynthia is so encouraging and real. Godly parenting advise and truths is what you will find on here! Love it!! Denise Wife and mom to three 17, 16 and 8. ❤️

Thank you for always speaking truth into my morning and life. This is one of my go-to podcasts as I get ready for work in the morning. I love all the guests and have been so blessed by your wisdom and insight.

Refreshing and reassuring to know my parenting experience is normal and that we are equipped through God to handle its ups and downs. Thank you for your relatable approach and style!

I love your weekly prompts for praying for our kids! I am a new mom and want every resource to pray for my daughter. Your podcast has been such a good tool for me. Thank you for your wise words and speaking truth that is backed by scripture.
