    Hey James✨
    Hello James, I just wanted to say that I love your podcasts. You have a great talent of helping people feel happy! I pray for you and I hope things will turn out. I believe in mental and emotional health a lot because I am diagnosed with depression as well. I know that the trails in life are made to strengthen us. The fact that you are still pushing though your hard times shows that you are a strong person, a survivor of tribulations. ♥️ P.S socialising really has helped my depression, even when I feel like nobody wants to be around me. (hanging out with friends, doing social activities, etc)

    I Like Genius
    What happened to “i like genius”???? that’s such a great idea and i believe in it. you should keep it going!
  • MEDUMM
    Love the show
    I love the show and I don’t believe it’s right that people say you shouldn’t have depression. It’s not your fault. No, I don’t personally understand depression, but I know that it is a challenge, and I hope all the people who told you depression wasn’t real understand after listening to your last episode
  • gb bmijv bkjjj

    Amazing
    James has done it again! A great podcast that is both entertaining and encouraging to Continue with life with ups and downs. He is amazing podcaster who deserves more respect and recognition. He has taught me a lot. God bless him and his family! 🙂
  • cooooooooortec
    Why Has no one written a review in so long
    I am from that story show and I decided to write a review because no one has done it in a year this is a review for that story show gospel of Keneson though is great I think you should go listen to that story show it’s a happier and funny podcas with great stories
  • thatAnimalCrossingLover
    Slowly falling in love with it
    It is so, so different from that story show which I always knew only one side of him because of his happy personality on his other shows. Its hard not to think that someone’s life is perfect, like I did when I only listened to that story show, because he only mentions really the good things of his week or just the minor bad things that happened but really he is dealing with so, so much more than that and it’s hard for me because even though I have never met this person ever in my life before and somehow care so deeply and can’t help, it’s terrible, I want to help but I’m helpless I can’t. I agree absolutely in your newest episode “Don’t get the logic” it’s terrible how horrible people are treating each other and I don’t understand it either. Kudos to James and his amazing personality and I’m just amazed that someone this amazing and kind exists and his courage showing that everyone has issues so just......good job James, I love you, you are an amazing person, and even if I don’t mean nothing to you or out of the millions of people, I still think you amazing.
  • badddddd do not buyyyyyy
    Wow.
    Great show. I can now say, I have 1 more show left to listen to by James Kennison. I started with Podcast Kid, And I fell in love. I listen to multiple episode 10’s of times. And then I ended up being told “You’ve listened to every episode and know them word for word.” Then I got to Red School Bus. It was great. Then one night, I thought about listening to that story show. Now I’m here. I just have to listen to We’re Both Right. Love the shows, peace.

    From That Story Show to GOK
    I have been listening to that story show for over a year and wanted to look at other podcasts with James. I found this and I really love it! It is a different side of James that you don’t see on the clean comedy. This is great and I will be a long time listener!

    Love this podcast as a teenager who suffers from depression and anxiety myself this podcast really helps me, keep up the good work
  • Mikzeroni
    Incredible value
    For James this show might just be his audio journal, but for me it's almost going to church. Listening to "What I Deserve" is almost a mini sermon, as are so many other episodes. Love ya James and thanks for the shows. Thanks for being real and helping me learn about depression and how to help those with it.
  • Spider-Pan
    James gets real
    If you only get an impression of who James is from That Story Show, you are missing out on a geniune decent and good guy just making his way as a dad. You may found out he's not so different from you. Jeremy the Spider-Pan of Neverland.

    The G.O.K.
    Thanks James for this wonderful window into your heart it helps me get through upsetting times and always makes me happy to hear your voice. You are always true to your heart and this and your other shows bring me great joy and comfort. If you like this show you might also like "That Story Show", "Red School Bus", and "Sorta Kinda SuperPowered"(James podio book) love ya James but not in a weird way! -Landon the great

    The Gospel Of Kennison
    This is a great, realistic podcast that opens your eyes to new things and shows you the real world. I love how James uses this as his journal and how he shares his feelings, because sometimes it’s hard for people to express what they feel. I’m so thankful for this podcast. It has taught me a few things and has never failed to disappoint me. -Skylar
  • Ethan Stainbrook
    Awesome
    Love this
  • RowdyCoyote
    Real Life
    This is one of my favorite podcast. As someone that also deals with depression, I appreciate Jame's honesty and openess about his struggles. I can relate to much of what he talks about. I have been a listener to his different podcast since the early days of Nobody's Listening. I am thankful for the laughs during the dark times and the encouragement from this podcast. In short, I am thankful to and for James. Thank you, my friend and brother!
  • JonZane
    A Simple Show From a Kind Heart
    The Gospel of Kennison simply put is a great show of therapeutic conversation. James simply takes a topic and goes into his opinions and ideas the way one would speak with a friend. Whether it be on religion, life, family or just being a decent human being, GOK is an excellent way to take in perspectives on the varied elements of life and see things from the perspective of a big hearted friend.
  • PaulieGbout
    Best Show in the NLCast Network
    I listen to all of the NLCast shows, but this one is may favorite. James doesn’t just rant and spout off opinions, he backs up what he has to say with passion and enthusiasm. Even when he says something I don’t agree with he enables me to understand and respect where he’s coming from. His thoughts on family and faith are why I listen to this podcast with a pen and pad of paper.

    if you listened to any of the other podcast of his, this is one step down. It is still very good
  • JKF_alone
    At first...
    I skipped this podcast, but after learning more about James, I gave it another shot. Now, I download this assoon as it's available. It's nice to know I'm not the only only one who has trouble balancing his life, and to hear how someone else does it. You are not alone in giving too much of your life to video games. EQ, AO, and many others took a decade from me where I could have been doing so much more.
  • Jjcool4life
    Oh no
    I jizzed in my pants
  • Paul Gudg
    Mr.james
    In this podcast that James Kennison has, he just speaks his mind. Sure there aren't many episodes but each one is great. I would reccomend this only if you have heard his other podcasts though.
  • BTTDL
    Nice.
    Always enjoyable, and random. Like your mom. And also, Nobody listens.
  • 40YearOldBoy
    Another swing, another homerun for James
    Whenever I listen to James, it makes me feel like I've got a friend out there who I just haven't met in person yet. It's great to hear someone who appreciates all that he has in his life instead of someone who complains about what they are missing.
  • EveryDay-Hero
    yup
    james is great at ranting and its nice to hear true, sirious opinions.
  • danthemusicman91
    First Review!
