  • Faith and Food

    Season 5 Episode 5 Faith and Food was particularly helpful for me as I have struggled with an unhealthy relationship with food for years. Seeing my addiction through a Biblical lens gave me a different way to view my over consumption and God’s will for me. Thank you Pastor Brian and Pastor Judah.

  • Intelligient, genuine, and heart-felt discussion.

    We don’t live in a black and white world. We need people who build bridges between all the broken pieces and culture. The only way to do that is to be real, vulnerable, educated, and authentic. I love listening to Pastor Lance and Pastor Brian as they engage us in discussion and bravely talk about today’s cultural issues.

  • Informative, Unbiased, Unafraid.

    So grateful for BOLD church leadership that is not afraid to tackle the difficult topics -- especially when panelists don't agree on everything. Thank you for this podcast. Especially when traveling or just having a difficult day, this inspires me to do better, be better, and draw closer to my God to engage in those difficult questions. Thank you for not being an echo chamber of what I already think/know I believe, but truly challenging me.
