  • Best podcast out there

    This is my first podcast review those I’ve listened to many over the years. I really believe this is the best podcast out there. It’s full of wisdom, sensitivity, honesty, and humility (and enough levity too). I’m so thankful and have learned so much even as a longtime believer.

  • Enjoy the podcast and missing scholars

    I really enjoy this podcast. I do miss that the format has changed and that scholars aren’t featured like they originally were. I appreciated hearing diverse voices. But Kaitlyn and Mike are doing a great job.

  • Uplifting

    I never leave reviews, but the “Does God Love Dictators” episode compelled me to write this. It was such a balm to my aching soul and a reminder of what we as Christians should be mindful of in these tumultuous times. No matter what our earthly leaders do, God is the final judge. I certainly needed to be reminded of that.
