I Built FaithPods Because Christian
Podcasters Deserve Better
Not another faceless SaaS tool. This is built by a podcaster, for podcasters, with one mission: help you reach the people who need your message.
1 My Story
I'm Nate. I've spent my career in Christian media, and I've seen what happens when the right message reaches the right audience.
I produced the largest Christian radio talk show in America. 100,000 daily listeners tuning in to hear conversations about faith, culture, and what it means to follow Jesus in the real world. I learned what makes people lean in, what makes them change the station, and what makes a conversation actually matter.
Then I started my own podcast. Over 2 million downloads later, I'd sat across from people like N.T. Wright, Tim Mackie, and Jon Foreman. Conversations about theology, creativity, and the Christian story that people told me genuinely changed how they think. I also crossed into the secular space, interviewing Neil deGrasse Tyson, Rainn Wilson, and others, learning how faith conversations land with audiences who aren't already in the choir.
Along the way, I started coaching other podcasters. I've worked with hosts behind some of the biggest Christian shows in the world. Top 10 across all of Apple Podcasts, millions of downloads per episode. I've seen what separates shows that grow from shows that stall. It's rarely talent. It's almost always strategy, craft, and connection.
2 The Problem I Kept Seeing
Christian podcasters are doing some of the most important media work in the world. They're having the conversations that churches, conferences, and books can't have. Honest, raw, personal conversations about faith, doubt, calling, and what it looks like to follow Jesus when life doesn't go according to plan.
But here's the thing: most of them are doing it completely alone.
They don't know other Christian podcasters. They have no one to ask when their audio sounds weird or their downloads plateau. When they want to find guests who actually align with their theology and audience, they're stuck cold-DMing strangers on Instagram or paying a PR agency $5,000 a month.
I kept answering questions on the podcasting subreddit, helping beginners, reviewing shows, giving feedback. But it wasn't scalable. I needed a better way to bring these people together.
3 Why FaithPods
FaithPods is a connection platform for Christian podcasters. We match you with aligned shows based on theology, topics, audience alignment, and real data. We help you craft personalized outreach that actually gets read.
But the booking tool is the door, not the destination.
The real vision is bigger: FaithPods is the home base for Christian podcasters who take their craft seriously because they take their message seriously.
Good craft serves the message. Reaching more people isn't vanity. It's stewardship. And you shouldn't have to figure it out alone.
4 What's Coming
I'm building a community for Christian podcasters. Not a Facebook group that dies in six months. A real, structured place where you can:
- ● Get honest feedback. Submit your show for review and get real, constructive notes from someone who's produced shows at every level.
- ● Join monthly Q&A calls. Submit your questions ahead of time, and I'll walk through them live. Interview technique, growth strategies, audio production, handling controversial topics, whatever you're wrestling with.
- ● Share strategies that work. What's actually growing shows in 2026, what's a waste of time, and what the data says about Christian podcast audiences.
- ● Celebrate wins together. Because "a listener told me my episode helped them through a divorce" matters more than download numbers, and you deserve a place to share that.
- ● Not feel alone. Christian podcasting is lonely work. It doesn't have to be.
The Community Is Coming
I'm building it now. If you're a Christian podcaster who wants to get better at the craft and be part of something bigger than your own show, I'd love to have you.
Rooting for your show,
Nate Hanson
