  • Weird

    The cooing and “mmm”-ing of the host(s) in the interview made me uncomfortable. It sounded like they were eating something delicious or enjoying some other more private experience. It became very grating as I sought to listen to the author. Just very precious and sanctimonious. Pass.

  • Honest, thoughtful, and engaging

    I absolutely love the wide ranging topics and guests. Each episode sets an open and intelligent tone on topics that are central to the Christian life. It is refreshing to listen to a Christian podcast that doesn’t just tread the same old tired and judgemental theological paths.

    Thanks for an excellent offering.
