- Relax
I enjoy John Mark’s books and teaching. I enjoy his style.
However, Mystics E07 is a good example of a format that is not always working. It’s a kind of interview with Dr Sittser, but the dynamic is jarring. Instead of letting Dr Sittser speak, John Mark is continually interrupting him, apparently in an attempt to clarify, expound, agree, one up, or comment on whatever Sittser is saying. The behavior sounds agitated, comes off as competitive, and is a drag on the primary presenter. Toward the e... more

I find this content to be informative and edifying. I love and appreciate JMC; I’d just ask him to hold back on talking over Dr. Sittser in these interview episodes. I really want to hear what Dr. Sittser has to say and I feel like JMC jumps in a lot to make his own points when Sittser is mid-sentence.

I’m so enjoying the series Water From A Deep Well! So so good. I can’t wait for the next episodes to drop!

I LOVE John mark comer- he’s shared so much wisdom with me over the years. I truly do appreciate this podcast, I just wish he would let his guests finish a thought before interjecting. I’ve listened to a handful of the “water from a deep well” series and it’s throughout each episode where he consistently cuts off the guest making it more difficult to pay attention.
Apple Podcasts3bsndhdjdjddUnited States2 months ago - Great discussion
This podcast is great, but Jerry Sittser continually talks over John and it’s hard to listen to on audio! I’m sure his book is great but audio isn’t great. 😬
