  • Inspirational and educational

    Seth and Luke do an amazing job of speaking on today’s cultural topics from a biblical perspective. There have been multiple episodes that my wife and I listened to that we discussed for days after and have helped us grow as people and Christians. They have also been very helpful to share with non-Christian’s that have questions.

  • Ep 103

    I just listened to episode 103, as a Catholic I am very insulted. Many views are prefix with “I think” and “this is my view” to me this is not a valid way of explaining our faith. We are all trying to get to the same place and I do not appreciate your views on my faith. I do believe you need to educate yourself more on the Catholic faith.

  • Loving the pod and Ironwood church

    Really cool to get a pod style, conversational take on these topics. As someone newer to faith, I appreciate the firmer stances. Other places I looked at early on seemed to avoid touchy subjects or tried to please everyone, which left me feeling lost. I’ve wanted a clearer view of scripture, and this church has delivered.

  • Thought Provoking, Intriguing, Inspiring

    This podcast has quickly become one of my favorites! Intriguing topics presented through a sometimes unconventional lens. Seth and Luke complement each other in style and tonality, which makes listening a pleasant experience. I love how they unpack common ideas in unorthodox ways, guiding and inspiring as they dive deeper into mainstream subject matters and ideas, presenting new ways of looking at/understanding the world around us, stretching our capacity to see things from a different perspecti... more
