The IMbetween Podcast is a conversation on marriage, parenting, faith, and everything in between. With your co-hosts, Daniel and Christina Im, you will laugh and learn to build a strong, connected, and joy-filled marriage + family.

However, we also recognize the potential for growth, transformation, and strengthened connections that can be achieved through addressing these issues with support. We started this podcast because everyone should have access to the tools that can improve their relationships, even if they cannot afford professional counseling.

apple podcasts reviews

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing podcast! What stands out is Christina and Daniel’s very real and practical approach to marriage that allows us to become more loving and kind people as individuals and as couples. Love the way you guys hold space!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great content that goes deep into the human soul. The duo tackle topics that have been have been well worth my time. The messages have not been just helpful, they have been life-giving in a world that oftentimes feels devoid of hope and light and marred with confusion.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great Show! I love your show. I have learned so much from it and greatly appreciate your honesty and willingness to talk about the difficult subjects. I have listened to a couple other marriage podcasts and they just haven’t resonated with me like yours. And I have gotten my husband into the show too! Thank you so much for being awesome!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Awesome Sauce. If you are looking for a serious, yet very real take on marriage, kids, and life, then let these two take you behind the scenes. I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to Daniel and Christina's take on the real life of a marriage, and all that comes with it! If you don't laugh with them, then you will definitely laugh at them sometimes.
