Max is extremely intelligent and so easy to listen to. Hearing him talking to his guests almost feels like you’re sitting across the dinner table discussing the Bible in a casual, yet profound way. I enjoy hearing all the theological topics and I love that he and the guests make theology applicable. Also love how they talk about the church, always with a positive perspective but not afraid to mention its flaws.
I really appreciate Max and all the knowledge that he’s making available.

I truly appreciate the framework, and the conversations had with all of the guests thus far. Each episode feels like a personal invitation that is as accessible as it is challenging, and a great way to begin more exploration when listening together in community as well. Keep it up Max!
