The Christian Podcast that Doesn't 'Should' on People
Contact: Becky Hodges, 970-292-4245

LOVELAND, Colo., May 20, 2016 /Christian Newswire/ -- A newly launched Christian podcast is taking on the growing culture of 'shoulding' and instead offering a non-judgmental examination of topics impacting women on a daily basis.

The They Say Podcast, which launched earlier this month, was created by popular Christian bloggers Kami Gilmour, Stephanie Hillberry, and Becky Hodges as a platform to debunk the ocean of advice given to women on issues including parenting, marriage, faith, and healthy living.

"Recent studies have shown that Christians are commonly seen as judgmental and are known more for what they are against, rather than what they are for," said Gilmour, a co-host of They Say. "Our podcast doesn't take the approach of saying 'You should be doing X as a woman' or 'You're not a good mom if you aren't doing Y.' Rather, we aim to provide relief from that guilt."

Each They Say episode highlights a single relevant topic that has people overwhelmed with given advice. Instead of injecting their own opinions, They Say will instead share real stories and real ideas from real imperfect people, often from the hosts' own lives.

"I am personally overwhelmed with opinions," said Hodges, They Say producer. "Every day I open up Facebook or Instagram and I am flooded with advice on topics ranging from my body to my morning routine—all of which conflict. Our goal with They Say is simple; we're going to tackle controversial topics, and we aren't going to give advice. Women are going to find that refreshing—and we know we are doing it right because our listeners leave feeling free and full of grace."

They Say creators explain the end mission of the podcast is to help listeners compare themselves less with others, and instead view themselves and their lives through God's eyes.

"We want people to encounter Jesus in the midst of their daily lives, and allow his presence to make a real difference in how they feel about their purpose and problems," says Hillberry, a co-host. "We desire our listeners to feel more confident and peaceful when they're making decisions because they are making them through prayer and not through other people's advice."

To date, They Say has eight podcasts available, with new podcasts releasing three times per month.
