The Can I Getta Amen podcast is an incredible show that offers a refreshing and honest perspective on faith, life, and personal growth. Hosted by Kristi and Kayla, this podcast is easy to listen to and provides genuine conversations with a variety of guests. The best aspect of this podcast is the authenticity and relatability of the hosts. They are open, vulnerable, and unafraid to share their own experiences, which makes listeners feel like they are sitting down with friends rather than listening to a scripted show. The guests on the show also contribute greatly to its success, as they are equally as open and willing to share their stories and testimonies. Each episode offers snippets of wisdom that make you reflect on your own life and encourages personal growth. It's impossible not to feel connected to the hosts and guests, making you want to call them up for a hangout session after listening.
As for any downsides, it's difficult to find any in this podcast. Perhaps one downside could be that some episodes may not resonate as deeply with certain listeners depending on their personal beliefs or interests. However, even in those instances, there are always valuable takeaways that can be applied universally.
In conclusion, The Can I Getta Amen podcast is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration, personal growth, and a deeper connection with themselves and others. Kristi and Kayla offer an inviting atmosphere where listeners can laugh, cry, reflect, and learn from each episode. This podcast sets itself apart by being genuine, relatable, and impactful in a world filled with superficial content. Give it a listen - you won't regret it!

Flashback Episode (Originally aired April 2023)This episode is shared in loving memory of Kalix James Broussard. ✝️We chose to bring this one back because there's just something about it — more goosies, more grace, and more of that unmistakable movement of the Holy Spirit that we all need to hear again.When Paul Whittington and Bubba Broussard joined us in Holy Spirit Studios, we found ourselves swept up in a conversation full of love, loss, truth, and the kind of heart conversion that only God can orchestrate.It's a story of friendship, faith, and the healing that comes when we hand our hearts completely to Him.So join us as we revisit this powerful reminder that even through unimaginable pain, God's mercy and love never stop writing the story.Support the show

In this episode, we're talking about holy beginnings...how God invites us to grow quietly beneath the surface, especially in seasons that look like loss. Inspired by fall's changing beauty, we reflect on what it means to let go, trust the hidden work of God, and embrace transformation with humility.We explore how the Holy Spirit meets us in the small, unseen moments...like rocking-chair mornings, backyard prayers, and even volleyball talks with our kids.We also get real about parenting through shifting seasons (hello, teenage independence), pride disguised as productivity, and learning to “waste time with God.”Our hope is that this conversation will help you pause, notice the sacred in your everyday, and chase new beginnings.They will be like a tree planted by the water; its leaves are always green.” Jeremiah 17:8 Support the show

We're taking it back to Abide Conference 2024 with a never-before-heard episode featuring one of our favorites — Fr. Blake Dubroc!

Blake shares about spiritual fatherhood and how being surrounded by women of faith draws out a deeper sense of delight rooted in the Father's heart. This episode captures the beauty of gentleness, healing, and the way God meets us right where we are — in our need, in our joy, and in our longing to be seen and loved.If you've ever needed a reminder that the Father delights in you, this one's for you.

This week on Can I Getta Amen, we're airing an episode from the Steubenville South Conference.

We talk about the saints of Poland, the ache for home, anxiety among our youth, and what it looks like to integrate prayer into everyday life—dishes, traffic jams, TikTok songs and all.Whether you're craving freedom, healing, or just a reminder that God is with you in the nitty-gritty, this conversation will leave you hopeful and seen.

Recorded live at Steubenville South – June 2025This week, we're throwing it back to Steubenville South with Virginia and Kennedy—the first brave voices to step up to our mics.

In this episode, we share how we each found relationship with God—not in the picture-perfect moments, but in the middle of our brokenness. Josh opens up about his journey to sobriety, and together we talk about surrender and contentment—the doorway to true freedom. Surrender isn't a one-time thing. It's a daily choice. One moment at a time.Verse of the Week: Phil 4: 10-13 I rejoice in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me; you were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. Not that I complain of want; for I have learned, in whatever state I am, to be content. I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound; in any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and want. I can do all things in him who strengthens me.
