  • Argumentative

    I was very excited to start this podcast to further dive into the book of Isaiah. I started in episode 152. I thought you guys were very argumentative with each other and not seeming to respect each other speaking. I tried to get past this and started on episode 153. I’m disappointed that it continues to be argumentative with each other which is not showing Christ in how you’re speaking to one another. Should I continue listening? Did I just start in a bad spot?

  • Biblical Theology on fire!

    What a journey this podcast is for the biblically hungry! This weekly podcast is unique in striking the right posture of depth and yet challenge to remind your heart of the inexhaustible riches of Gods word to your soul! The biblical theology core is challenging to see what the guys see, even if you’re not always in agreement with their connections. Cannot recommend this podcast highly enough!
