The Deep Dish is a podcast from The Gospel Coalition hosted by Melissa Kruger and Courtney Doctor. It invites women into deep conversations about the deep truths of God, aiming to equip them for richer discipleship relationships in their local contexts. The discussions are presented in a warm, conversational style among friends, often including special guests, and are always better served up with a slice of deep-dish pizza.
