Apple Podcasts5EmCatDiGiUnited States3 years ago - Just more navel gazing by straight people at Fuller
Hey Fuller, it’s time to accept that LGBT people exist. ONE HUNDRED episodes, and not one mentions Queer issues. Then again, Fuller doesn’t even allow Queer people to attend the school. These are just more podcasts that keep Fuller students and listeners ignorant of the real world.
Apple Podcasts1KMB PasadenaUnited States3 years ago - Great!
I love this show. So insightful in terms of theology, Christian thought, culture, everything! My only complaint is the theme music. It hurts my ears and I skip through it or literally rip my headphones out every time it comes on! Please consider a change!
