  • Good podcast - balanced & authentic

    While I love the podcast in general, the episode that showcased Ryan Burge (Jan. 2026), was an extremely enjoyable one (and there are others). Thank you for bringing guests forward that align to your mission, especially those like Ryan Burge, Robert Jones & Jessica Denson.

    I tried listening to the QAnon, Chaos, and Christianity episode and had to stop… these guys have put no effort into understanding their topic

  • I tried to Listen

    I tried so hard to listen to Bryce Eddy but finally had to fast forward when he talked about Kash Patel. He makes valid points about men in our society, but his cure is worse than the problem. Your podcast is still very informative and I will keep listening. I’m a rock solid Jesus loving Christian but this was too much for me.

  • Captivating and Challenging

    No matter how many I hear, I continue to walk away with a thoughtful insight from each new episode! I enjoy the many layers of the show that are constantly compared and contrasted: conservative, liberal, white, black, faith, secularity, long-held beliefs, and current events. Keep it UP!
