  • 1/2 of my Favorite Podcasts

    Along with Life, Books, and Everything (featuring Colin Hansen quite often), Gospelbound is easily one of my favorite podcasts. It is rare that I miss or skip an episode. Colin is one of the best question-askers I have ever listened to. So thankful for such great content coming out of TGC.

  • TGC espouses modern liberal progressive woke ideology over biblical truth

    TGC espouses modern liberal progressive woke ideology over biblical truth. In doing so they are clearly seeking to please man rather than God. They push feminism and anti-white rhetoric because that happens to align with the spirit of the age but would be foreign to centuries of Christian fathers
