  • Welcome Ronni

    Today's podcast about Jesus and your relationship with him touched my heart. I especially appreciated your comments about your longing to meet him one day Ronni. Thanks for the great content that encourages me to walk more closely with Christ and his bride the church.

    As a first time listener to the podcast I am adding For the Church Podcast to my “must listen” list!! I am a big podcast listener and rarely leave a rating….this show needs to get pushed to the top of the list of recommendations for new listeners!!

  • Thanks, Ross, and Don’t Be a Freeloader

    I always enjoy the podcast and loved the latest episode with the send off for Ross. Ross was my advisor when he first came to MBTS and was very helpful in guiding through my MTS studies.

    I don’t agree with every opinion on the podcast, but I do learn and am encouraged by with each episode. Ross, now that you are back to full-time pastoring, don’t be a freeloader and leave a review for this podcast!

    Although I have often winced over the years when Jared asked listeners for a “5-star” review, rather than an “honest” or “thoughtful” review, in recent months, Jared and Ross’s emphasis on reviews has become distracting at best. However tongue-in-cheek references to listeners who do not leave reviews as “freeloaders” are intended to be, the term suggests a transactional relatio... more
