I really enjoyed this podcast! It’s helping me form my theology based on what the Bible says. Dr. Wilson and Dr. Kurtz. Have very helpful takes on current issues and life in the local church. This will impact you and it will grow your faith.
For The Church with Jared C. Wilson is thoughtful, gospel-centered, and consistently refreshing. Rooted in solid Reformed theology, it engages real church and cultural issues with pastoral clarity and humility. The UFO episode is a standout—biblically grounded and oddly reassuring (because Christ is Lord of that too).
The re-addition of Ronnie Martin only makes it better, adding warmth, wisdom, and great on-air chemistry.

Some great questions on the last episode and some even better answers. I love the shared wisdom that I gain when I listen and the encouragement I receive that I’m not completely barking mad for continuing to want to be a faithful gospel centred Pastor of a small local church.

For the Church is like sitting at a pastors’ table where the theology is rich, the coffee is strong, and nobody minds if you turn up in yesterday’s hoodie. Jared C. Wilson (and friends) offer gospel clarity with the perfect blend of laughter and “yep, I’ve been there” honesty.
I miss the Scottish tones and dry humour of Ross like I miss Irn-Bru on a hot day. But Ronni Kurtz has arrived with his own brand of brainy warmth and occasional “how-does-he-know-this-much?” wizardry, and it’s been a tre... more
