i LOVE this show. literally listened to almost every episode! i do wish you would separate the 100+ and the “press on” because it’s really complex to explain / recommend to people now that there’s multiple podcasts in this one feed. when are you planning on separating them / are you? used to recommend to tons of people, but have had lots get lost in the episode lay outs sadly :(( amazing show though!! thank you! Christ had taught me so much through this. keep it comin!
Apple Podcasts4abigailgrimes11United States3 years ago - So enlightening!
I am so appreciating this podcast! So much of the history of Christianity explains how we got to where we are now. I had no idea!!! Names and events are familiar to me but I’ve never understood how they fit chronologically. Every Christian, not only seminary students, should know this!!!

Canada4 years ago - Miss Listening in Person
Mike is an unbelievably captivating speaker. Mike’s message draws you in and makes going to church a pleasure. Christ Church in Lake Forest is a special place, and I miss it dearly since we had to move out of the state. Thank goodness for this series and the Christ Church podcast…it’s not the same as sitting in the sanctuary, but wonderful nonetheless.
