  • What would Jesus REALLY do?

    Matt, Ben and Christy are all pastors who have come from different backgrounds, a an and realized that the ultimate message of the Bible, and specifically Jesus, is one of ultimate love. Occasionally the discussion is between the hosts as they delve into various issues. More frequently they are interviewing a writer or speaker who is an expert in a particular area. They have taught me so much, and opened my mind to be able to listen to others in live, just as Jesus would.

  • Mostly great, but…

    I love the guests and topics on this podcast, but many times I have been stopped from sharing specific episodes with others because of the long pre-show chatter and the dad jokes at the end. I feel like you assume everyone listening already knows and loves you and would find it endearing, but when I’m wanting to share with people unfamiliar with your podcast I think it’s a barrier. Most recent episode (Five Challenges) is perfect example, a thoughtful conversation was deflated by Matt’s dad jok... more
