  • Disappointed by Pessimism

    I started listening after a local leader in housing recommended it, but I am going to be done listening for a while. There is such a steady stream of deep pessimism in the faith of Christ and the history of the church that pervades every episode I listened to. Because of that, I can’t recommend anyone listen to it if they want to be a future Christian.

  • Excellent guests!

    A really thought provoking podcast. So far I’ve listened to sessions covering themes on discipleship, church culture and platform Christianity. I think it’s helpful to hear the very diverse voices of people that you don’t normally hear and listen in on their perspectives about faith.
