  • Formation for Heart & Mind

    I’ve been following this podcast since the beginning, and almost every episode impacts both my heart and mind. I love learning about our (church) family history, and I’m grateful for how Ben and Dan draw out insights and implications for our daily lives. And it’s never, “Try hard and you can be like these people,” but instead “Look how the Spirit shaped and used these people. That same Spirit is even today at work in and through you and your sisters/brothers in Christ. “

  • Accessible, interesting and encouraging

    I appreciate how Dan and Ben work together to offer these stories of the saints in a way that combines faith and scholarship. These stories do more than inspire. Ben and Dan also connect them to our lives today and the choices we face. They show how they point to the good news about God - that he loves us and brings freedom and peace to his followers.
