  • So eye-opening

    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.

  • Part of My Weekly Routine

    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.

  • Guilted into Writing

    Following your last episode I felt guilted into leaving a review after being described as a “freeloader” for simply enjoying the episode. 😂

    Well here’s a review!

    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.
