I have learned a great deal from Dr. Curt and appreciate that God's Word is the foundation on which human psychological knowledge is based. I do find the lengthy bantering introductions to be very distracting and difficult to sit through.

This podcast has become a daily listen for me as I catch up with past episodes. It's the only one that helps me with the human "problem" of navigating relationship. It helps me see how it can be a part of my healing rather than a problem. I haven't found another podcast that really deals with daily normal relating to each other which is so essential! Thank you for this podcast!!

I became familiar with Curt’s work in July of 2024. I became obsessed with this pod. I miss new episodes! I virtually attended the Fall Event that year, joined a Confessional Community in January of 2025, attended the gathering in DC last year…being known in a CC has transformed my life and my healing. I thank God for Curt & Pepper!

If you’re interested in neuroscience and healing trauma you will want to listen. Curt has helped me wrestle with so many things that had me stuck. Thanks Curt and Pepper

I haven’t missed an episode, and it’s often the show I share with people I care about; it’s a phenomenal resource.

I love the challenge on how I think but I I also really love hearing and gaining some perspective on the neuroscience behind how we develop in our thinking. It is a repeated series of light bulb moments!

Thank you for this excellent podcast. For a long time, I have been looking for a resource that strikes a good balance between solid psychological understanding of the human condition and equally solid conservative theology. This podcast does just that. Add in a dash of humor that often occurs between Curt and Pepper, and it makes for great listening! Thanks for all that your team does.

This is so so good. I've listened to this episode three or four times and each time I'm profoundly impacted. When you hear the truth, your whole body knows it. Thank you, thank you thank you!

This episode offers a deeply meaningful lens on resilience—linking rupture and repair to eternal restoration. The idea that “we are practicing for the heaven that is coming” gives powerful context for anyone walking through spiritual healing. A standout conversation.

Curt, Pepper, and Amy…thank you for this podcast. It came on my radar from my counselor who is a trusted mentor. I recommend it to “all of my friends “ as Amy always encourages us to do. God bless you!!

Conversational and insightful. I am so thankful that I found this right now. I really need it!

What a HELPFUL podcast. Thank you for all you do!

This is such a great blending of faith, friendship, science and wisdom. Thanks for what you are doing

Curt, Pepper, and Amy model the power of being known as they bring relevant, life-changing teaching about interpersonal neurobiology. I’m not exaggerating when I say this podcast has changed my life and shaped the work I do in the world as a writer, speaker, coach, and leader. I learn something new on every episode, and will be forever grateful for their commitment to going first as they practice the redemptive work of allowing themselves to be fully known. Thanks for showing us a different way to be human!

Incredible insight, honest, relatable, tender, kind, hopeful and encouraging. Like guides, taking you back into the mess and being used by the Savior to present you clean again.

This podcast has helped me so much!!! Love all that I learn and can apply here. Would love to see a season on attachment!!

I really appreciate two grown men being real and vulnerable with each other! Pepper & Curt the holistically speak to both a felt sense as well as the scientific side of our human experience. Grounded in science and psychology and appreciative of spirituality, this podcast is a gem.

I cannot recommend this podcast enough. Not only is the subject matter absolutely critical for knowing yourself and emotional healing, the way the presenters talk about it is completely approachable and entirely enjoyable. My wife turned me onto this podcast, and I am so grateful that you did. I cannot recommend it enough.

I am still in utter shock that this type of medicine is available without co-pays, deductibles, denials of claims and utter despair for help. I have been listening for about two years and I am just in awe of this truth about how the brain is also the key to walking in fullness of joy. My words of gratitude will never be enough, but My God is the great rewarder. God bless you! Thank you!

That’s what comes to mind when I think of this podcast. I’m so grateful for Curt and Pepper’s friendship through which they share their love for one another, showing how important it is to be vulnerable in order to grow, helping me to truly understand the depth of God’s love for us. I first heard Season 9 and loved it so much I now am listening from the beginning and telling all my friends and family about it. Curt and Pepper share so much knowledge, so much humor, so much caring, so much beauty in helping me to ‘discover and explore’ my life ‘hidden with Christ in God.’ Curt and Pepper, I can’t thank you enough.

Thank y’all for this podcast! I thought it was strange at first, but I really do feel understood and attuned to when I listen. My nervous system settles, and as a therapist, it helps me to show up differently for my clients (through genuine connection versus performance anxiety). Blessings to each of you as y’all continue the work God has ordained.

This podcast has changed with my ideas about the Bible.

I have been listening to this podcast for over a year and it has become my favorite podcast (out of the many that I listen to!). I have been recommending it to all my friends. Curt and Pepper’s humor and their deep dive conversations into the human heart and the heart of God for us have helped encourage me through a very difficult year, pointing me back to the love of God—especially through the season on beauty and the season on suffering. I also love Curt’s books. Thank you for your work! It is life changing.

There are other podcasts that seek to accomplish what this one does they don’t come close the insight of Kurt and Pepper and the way they connect with each other goes deep and an effective way to present a transforming message. Thank you, Kurt Pepper, and Amy.

My first introduction to Dr. Curt Thompson was many years ago shortly after his first book, Anatomy of the Soul, was published and he did a workshop on the book at our church in TN. I took copious notes but then years went by and I forgot most of what I learned from him and his book. A few years ago a brain retraining program was recommended to me. It was really helpful, but also had some New Age underpinnings. So in my search for a Christian based brain retraining program I ran across Dr. Thompson’s website and discovered the Being Known Podcast. THANK YOU LORD. THANK YOU LORD. THANK YOU LORD. Y’all listen! ‘Nuff said.

So good. So moving and practical. thank you.

Thank you for the Dr. Heiser shout out

Needed. Thank you.

I am so grateful for this podcast and for Curt’s books. They have been life changing for me, and I love hearing Curt and Pepper’s discussions about becoming more whole and integrated Christ followers. If I could give 1000 stars I would.

I am so thankful for every season. Every season has challenged me to be braver and to be willing to think bigger and deeper. I loved when Curt said, “Let’s go get the monsters together.” That gave me courage.

I have been listening to every podcast. I even go back and listen again. I highly recommend listening to this 💙

This podcast has been a steady companion of mine for the last 2 years. I’m so grateful for it and it has a truly immeasurable impact on my life. Thank you for your investment in encouraging me to see beauty, ultimately in the Lord.

I’m a high school senior planning to study neuroscience next year. How encouraging to hear other believers much further along this path than I am discuss God’s intricate design of our brains! I Learn something new every episode, and I can’t wait to keep listening.

First and foremost, the bromance joy between Dr. Curt and Pepper is refreshing and really fun to listen to. I laugh out loud every time and then I am hit with deep, profound wisdom—who offers this rare combination on a podcast. In a time of questioning “all things church systems” in my life, Dr. Curt guides me into a much deeper walk of faith. For that, I am most grateful!

Listen to gain perspective and deep insights to your own personal thoughts and learn to live life more fully and intentionally. Of course, I only listen to hear from Pepper! Lol The humor, friendship and deep intimacy that is shared makes me come back for more.

This podcast kept popping up on suggestions. It looked good but I have a small capacity for listening to anything. Then on a troubled evening a couple weeks ago I just did it. It was like walking along the ocean at sunset with a friend, hopeful and seen! I started listening a second time today. I really want to get this in my heart. Thanking the LORD for bringing this my way.

Wow! As a 65 yr old female military brat, there was never a “Goodbye.” When Dad got orders, we moved. At 27 years old, I had moved 18 times. When I hear you three talk about saying Goodbye and I wonder what my experience has done to my heart over the years. (Not just me, but all military brats.) I would love to hear a bit about how military kids have navigated frequent moves and loss. Thanks for all you do!

While reading Deb Dana’s book, Anchored, I was invited to listen to this podcast. I started binge listening from the beginning and wow! I love the spiritual depth added to what I am learning about my God given nervous system. Appreciate this work so much.

Combining psychology, with faith, & nueroplasticity along with opening up ourselves ( in a safe environment ) makes so much sence! I am very happy my brother turned me on to Curt Thompson MD👍

Dr. Thompson has an incredible gift of explicating truth in a manner that brings both light and healing. The season on shame was particularly anointed. I have recommended it to many clients and I’m listening to it again as I read the book, “The Soul of Shame.”. Wow!! Judy Landrieu Klein, PhD Licensed Clinical Pastoral Counselor

I was drawn to the name. I have longed to be known and this podcast has given me the springboard to my next level of growth..I love to hear the humor and the true friendship between Curt, Pepper and Amy. I love this podcast.

If you desire to know who you are, if you desire to know how to move through pain, brokenness and trauma, this podcast is without a doubt for you!!

This is so important and so well done!!! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!!!

And no, don’t stop saying Dude! Anyone over 40 knows that dude IS a word for all ages!!! Thank you for a good word and the work you do. You are legit!

….but please stop saying “dude”…you must be over 50

Wow! Thank you so much Dr. Curt Thompson and Pepper Sweeney for this enlightening and helpful podcast! I love you both. God bless you! Please keep them coming!

Can’t help but tell everyone about this podcast. Having gone to a few churches with my husband sharing the redemption of our shame filled story, we find people coming out of the woodwork sharing their own. It is scary to be so open at first…but what a blessing it always is to know a God whose redemption draws us together. So glad to listen to all of your podcasts explaining the way God works to heal our wounds and have such clear examples that hurting people can access to give hope, to show the beauty of our God and how He works to bring that beauty into our own lives.. Reading the book too!!

I love this podcast and I’m trying to play catch-up because I’m late to the game. I’m only on season three. I have gathered little gems to keep in the forefront of my mind, like looking for beauty, the fact that my neurons grow when someone empathizes with me, and how that connects all of us. AMAZING! There’s so much more to learn in each episode, I’ll have to go back and listen again. I love the relationship between Curt and Pepper, it is a beautiful balance, serious and funny. Can’t wait for the next episode, so I sometimes binge two or three at a time.

I absolutely love this podcast. I am at a time in my life where deep friendships and true community is extremely important but is often unexplored. Through this podcast, I have learned much about myself and how to form true connection with those around me.

This ongoing and intimate conversation between kindred brothers is truly beautiful. I am so encouraged and educated by your willingness to share your relationship and insight with me. Thank you.
