  • Ally Yost

    1. Ally Yost

    First on the list is a young Christian woman named Ally Yost, who hosts Christ With Coffee On Ice (CWID), which can be listened to on Spotify and Apple podcasts. 

    "CWCOI is your new Jesus-loving podcast where you are encouraged to come exactly as you are. No matter your relationship with God, we welcome ALL - messy or put together. Our host, Ally Yost, has made it her mission to spread God's love and encouragement through this podcast." A description of her podcast on Spotify reads, "Expect vulnerability, rawness, hope, and encouragement.

  • Carew Ellington

    2. Carew Ellington

    Carew Ellington is a speaker, missionary, and host of The Secret Place podcast. His podcast episodes range from interviews to individual discussions on different topics.

    "We live in a generation that is more focused on posting about Jesus than actually knowing Him. What would life look like if talking about Jesus and serving others came from the overflow and not a way to feel better about ourselves? The Bible tells us the key to this kind of peace," a description on Spotify reads. The Secret Place Podcast is the thoughts, ideas, and revelations God gives me in my time with Him. Are you ready to go deeper?"

    Ellington also launched a Christian clothing website with additional products for young Christians. He can be found on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, and his podcasts can be listened to on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
