    As a new believer who didn’t grow up in church world, I am so grateful for Heritage Church and this podcast. A friend brought me to a worship night a few months ago, and my husband and I have been regularly attending church ever since. Chris and Jeff have such a gift for sharing the scripture and making it meaningful to the lay person.

  • Useless childish banter by hosts

    If these young men would discipline their tongues, focus their minds and know what they want to say before they turn on their microphones, they would be useful. But until then, this podcast is a waste of time.

  • Not what I had hoped

    Jahosaphat, a rappers name. I had come to expect more but guess I was wrong. I began listening to the podcast on a recommendation of a friend. I was less than enthusiastic about the first 10 minutes of every episode but still wanted to give it a try. This was the last for me.
