  • Sound level issues yet a great podcast

    It cannot be just me, but it seems that there is volume issues with this podcast, well actually all the Justin Brierley podcasts. In comparison to other podcasts in Apple Podcasts the sound drops so low that when this podcast ends and the other begins my ears ring out and I have to jump to adjust levels once again. I think in mastering please check the sound levels. It will make the podcast more enjoyable to listen.

  • I love this podcast

    Thoughtful, analytical and intelligent discussion of issues that make you stop and think. It encourages you to examine your own beliefs and where they come from, rather than making sweeping assumptions based on cultural expectations and the often uninformed opinions of others. I’m not a Christian but I have learnt so much. Top notch listening, thank you!

  • Encouraging and Thought-Provoking

    Thanks for hosting this podcast! The conversations are engaging, the guests are knowledgeable, and as a Christian who's struggled to believe in the truth of my worldview for most of my life, it's been encouraging for me to hear stories from people like David Bennett and Paul Kingsnorth, since they've gone through long seasons of spiritual wandering, too.
