Listening to this podcast has been a game changer for me! Nancy’s insights into balancing life demands with faith and intentionality resonate deeply. Each episode offers, practical advice and heartfelt encouragement. I never miss an episode!

Nancy is encouraging, encouraging and refreshing! This is one of my favorite podcasts!

I’ve listened to Nancy for years and have picked up tons of practical life-hacks for motherhood and marriage. Her systematic and thoughtful approach to so many different areas of life is fun AND a blessing to learn from! More importantly it is clear in her content that she puts a biblical lens over all of life, so in addition to learning solid methods from her, she shares biblical principles throughout too. Thank you Nancy!

I love this podcast so much! Nancy is so wise and I look forward to listening every week. Her episodes are full of practical tips and wisdom. I appreciate how much time she puts into preparing and recording the episodes so they are short, sweet, and to the point!

I love listening to Nancy’s podcasts! For years, I’ve followed along and enjoyed learning and laughing with Work & Play. These podcasts are almost like chatting with a friend and listening to them share their heart! I’m grateful for all the time and energy put into each of these.

I love listening to Nancy every week! She is full of encouragement, spiritual wisdom, and advice!

Nancy may not know it, but she’s my girl 😂 I eagerly listen each week and so greatly appreciate her insight into all things relating to faith, marriage, motherhood, work and play. So thankful for the conversations and space she has created!

Nancy is a joy to follow, and her advice is practical and rooted in Gospel wisdom. You can tell she and her husband are thoughtful and intentional about family leadership and she has a heart to share what has worked with others.

So so love Work and Play with Nancy Ray! She is such a kind person and so encouraging on living for Jesus and has such great tips about living more intentionally and organized!

I eagerly listen to the episodes every week. I can relate to Nancy so well with 4 kids the same ages and trying to help my husband run a farm business from home. Her voice is also the sweetest! She gives real life advice and it obviously comes from a genuine heart!

I love this podcast so much! Nancy feels like a friend as I listen while running, editing, or driving around each week. Her episodes are always uplifting, encouraging, practical, and fun! I have been listening to Work and Play since the beginning and love how Nancy always points to her faith and the truly important things in life. Thank you so much Nancy! So grateful for your podcast and for all that you share.

Love listening to all the practical tips Nancy shares! She is so easy to listen to and has such a sweet, calm spirit. I am always excited for every episode!

Love this podcast so much! 🩷

I love the length of Nancy’s episodes and the practical tips and encouragement she shares. She gives examples of methods/ideas that have worked for her family without saying that’s what ALL people should do.

Love that these episodes are relatable, shorter and practical. I also really appreciate the Christ-like mindset she shares and approaches life with.

I love listening to Nancy talk about how she runs her household, plans her days, and holds fast to her faith. She consistently shows up with grace, communicating in a gentle way the tips she has learned for work and play in daily life, and what she is learning from authors and podcast guests. It’s like listening to an older sister while I’m in the thick of raising littles.

Oftentimes when I listen to podcasts, I wonder what the person recording is like in real life compared to the way they portray themself to be while recording. I have had the privilege of getting to know Nancy over the last year and I can confirm that she is just as (if not more) genuine, kind, and compassionate in real life as she is on her podcast episodes. She is the real deal and I consider it a blessing to learn from her!

I’ve listened to most of her episodes and I appreciate that they’re practical and short but sweet. I always take away something from the episodes

Nancy truly talks to you in her episodes like a friend! I first saw Nancy speaking at a Mother’s Day event and was really moved by her words!!! I went home that day a listened to her most recent episode and have been hooked since! I have gotten so many helpful mom tips and life tips. Cannot say enough great things about Work & Play! Give her a listen!!!

I had the privilege of being with and meeting Nancy IRL and she is the real deal. She is a bright light, so kind, and walks out her own advice.

You can share your favorite makeup brand without sharing it’s “pro life”.

Every episode is short, practical and super encouraging! This is my go to listen as a busy mom!

Nancy has so much wisdom. I constantly go back and relisten to her episodes and love all of her insight she shares. My favorite podcast to listen to.

I really appreciate this podcast and encouragement in motherhood and business. Plus the episodes are short and sweet which I am 100% on board with.

This podcast feels out of touch with the other 99%. Most people can’t just take chunks of time off of ‘work’. Granted, I’ve never worked for myself. I just worry for people who try to attain this lifestyle and come up short because…we are human…and life. Debt free is impossible for the majority of the world trying to scrape by on minimum wage.

As a first time mom of a 16 month old, I’m still learning how to be a mom while balances work and all the other responsibilities of life. Learning how Nancy does it while remaining centered in Christ has been encouraging and inspiring. I love how realistic, honest, and open she is in what she shares. Thank you, Nancy, for taking the time to share this podcast!

Nancy is very inconsistent in her podcast releases, and constantly stresses how the podcast is more and more of a burden. You can’t speak to women about balancing work and play, while she openly admits she is pursuing less and less work and more play. It feels like she is role-playing a working mom and she comes from a place of entitlement, which she mentions often.

I absolutely love listening to Nancy’s podcast whenever I have the chance! I always walk away feeling encouraged and so inspired to live life more intentionally! Listening to this podcast truly feels like catching up with an old friend! Grateful for you Nancy!

Nancy Ray’s cheerful voice encourages us with practical tips built on a biblical foundation. I love her teaching on contentment and social media balance. Thank you, Nancy for sharing your life with us.

Coming from someone that’s followed along with Nancy for more than 10 years, she has been a consistent source of timely encouragement for my life as a mom and entrepreneur. She is consistently genuine & transparent, and very trustworthy! I look forward to this podcast every week!

Nancy shares so many hopeful, encouraging and practical things. From motherhood to business to following Jesus. Encouragement and challenging thoughts all together.

As a mom of littles, this podcast is so helpful to me and just fun to listen to! I describe it as grounding because Nancy usually has a biblical insight or foundation to what she’s saying and yet it’s got so many practical tips and nuggets woven throughout. I love that with all the practicality she encourages her listeners to ultimately seek the Lord and His word and wise counsel above and beyond her tips. When I listen, I feel inspired and encouraged to continue dreaming and working towards things that will help me thrive in this season of life. The recent episode on tension really ministered to me as it’s exactly what I am experiencing and she used a very specific verse at the end that God had already put in front of me this week. It just showed me that she really is listening to the Lord and letting Him guide her topics and go where He leads. I’m thankful and I just love hearing how another mama is working through life, marriage, parenthood , work ministry , ect. The sick episode recently also reallllly ministered to me! Thank you Nancy for your faithfulness and hard work!

Unfortunately Nancy Ray is out of touch with average people and seems to exhibit a know it all attitude. The episode about getting out of debt a second time is nothing but her bragging about being debt free. Sorry, I live in the real world. Don’t waste your time listening to this podcast.

I don’t listen to many podcasts, but this one I just keep coming back to over and over again listening to them multiple times. Each time I re-listen to an episode, I get something new and encouraging from it. This Podcast is timeless, encouraging, and applicable to daily life. God has gifted Nancy in speaking truth through everyday life. I look forward to every episode and am thankful that she puts herself out there and does this.

I don’t know why it took me so long to start listening to podcasts but I’m so glad I am now! I’ve been following Nancy since before she had kids and my three kids were born around the same time as her older three so I can really relate to the season of life that she is in. I love the godly wisdom and practical advice. I love the interviews and lessons she has learned from being off of social media and the book reviews. It is a joy to listen to and helps keep me productive and away from mindless scrolling on social media.

I’ve followed Nancy for years, and really enjoyed her early podcasts! But overtime I’ve come to realize her world and life are just… out of touch. She comes from a very strong place of privilege and struggles with how to relate to certain members of her audience. I think if you fall on the avoid difficult topics because you don’t like “cancel culture”, don’t “fear” (by that I mean covid, yep that’s the boat she was clearly in during the pandemic), have a token person of color on your podcast because you chose to be silent last summer but want to show you do know and love people of color, give up a career to be a homemaker, homeschool children, be a Dave Ramsey thumping type person, then this is a great podcast for you! I’ve just honestly outgrown Nancy and want to always give it another chance and am often reminded why I stopped being an avid listener. It’s a shame because she has a great speaking voice but alas 🤷‍♀️

Such a great encouragement while I’m in this busy season of working with little boys under my feet!

I just found this podcast and will enjoy listening and learning. Thank you for being so real and honest about your faith. I am ready to get off social media and free up my time to start enjoying books again!

I always learn something from and am inspired by Nancy’s episodes! I love how genuine and loving she is. She’s full of wisdom beyond her age and fun to listen to as well. Thank you Nancy, and keep it up!

I’ve been an avid listener of this podcast for just about two years now, I’m not sure how I came across it when it was just beginning but I am so glad I did bc I have learned more than I can put into words from Nancy! Although most of the people listening are probably moms or businesswomen, when I started listening I was just a 21 year old college student and am now only 23 and listening to so much advise or the next seasons of life I will enter. Nancy’s podcast has the most practical and Gospel centered advice for every season of life you’re in or will be in! I cannot wait to see all that continues to come from this platform!!

I recently found this podcast, and I love it so much! I love how Nancy is really open about how her faith affects her life; some podcasts just seem to kind of dance around that, and so love that she’s just herself and lets that be a part of what she talks about. I also find that many podcasts talk about the same topics in much the same ways, but Nancy’s podcast is refreshing and brings a unique perspective to both old and new topics. You have a new fan! Keep it up.

Nancy is honest, fun and encouraging! I always walk away feeling inspired and encouraged and am just so blessed by her words, thank you Nancy!

I feel like I have had a conversation with a wise Christian friend when I listen to this podcast.

Love this podcast! I look forward to it every single week.

The wisdom Nancy Ray shares in her podcast is amazing, and always so helpful!

She bringing a wonderful perspective to live, love and work!

Nancy Ray is a breath of fresh air to the podcast world! She brings beauty, honesty, and integrity to this Christian podcast which is something that is hard to find! Throughout these podcast episodes, Nancy has taught me how to work and play well, balancing my life. I will always be grateful for her and the message she shares.

I absolutely love this podcast! It is my go to car ride entertainment. I love that this is a down to earth podcast. I feel like I can truly relate to this podcast!

In this season of being a stay-at-home-mama with 2 kiddos under 3 while also pursuing a wedding photography business, everything Nancy shares her heart in a way that I can 100% relate to. I’ve replaced my mindless television watching with listening to podcasts while multitasking. Work & Play has easily moved up the ranks to my favorite podcast to listen to. Nancy shares her authentic faith which is a continual encouragement to prioritize my faith and time with the Lord. She encourages mamas, she teaches, she inspires. This is a must listen to for Christian mamas looking for a source of encouragement from a fellow believer who is in this same season of life. She’s like the big sister you don’t have, full of wisdom, a gentle voice and encouragement.

I just found this podcast January 2021. As I listen I feel like I’ve got a Christian friend and mom in my ear encouraging me along in life as I listen. And I’ve shared this two two friends. Loving this life giving and encouraging podcast! Can’t recommend enough!
