  • Wonderful

    Been listening to his father Hank since the days of “Christianity in crisis” and “Counterfeit revival” on cassette tape. And now listening to his son dialog on great topics with great people has been refreshing. While he isn’t his father I can affirm the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. He brings much to the table in a very straight to the point kinda way.

  • Exactly what I’ve been looking for

    Absolutely love this! The show hits on something I’ve been wrestling with for a long time, how to stay grounded and think for myself in a world that’s constantly trying to tell

    me what to think and how to feel.
