  • Cultural Artifact 2025

    Long time listener… just came across one of the coolest albums I’ve heard in a while and it should immediately find its way into Tyler’s 2025 cultural artifacts (I’ll be listening to make sure… lol)… The album is “Filled with Wonder” by Hamilton Hardin ~ check it out, and let it bless you!!!!

  • This is the one

    As someone who would rather read a book than listen to audio, my highest praise is that this is the only podcast that I regularly listen to. After three years of tuning in, it’s high time to leave a review. No matter what the subject, Tyler Burns and Jemar Tisby always leave me thinking and feeling more deeply, reminding me to keep Jesus at the center when the world feels off the rails. Love from South Carolina.
