- Fascinating Theology
Love this guest and his knowledge and what the historical events leading to spirituality and Christianity today. The only negative is…..John Mark, I love your work, books and all you bring to my Christian walk, but man, stop interrupting and talking over guest. You are “yessing” and making comments in the middle of his thoughts or finishing his stories….. it throws listener off. Again, you are such a powerful force for Jesus!!

I love this series. I’ve listened to every episode, but someone please tell J.M to let the professor speak without interruption. Other than that great podcast.

I really wanted to make it through this series as the topic is so wonderful, but the interruptions are just insufferable. I ordered the book and will enjoy that way.

Listening to dr sitter and mysticism and Mark talking over, interrupting and putting words in his mouth is driving me nuts. I enjoy your teaching so much, but please let your guest speak.
