Thank you, Luke and Scott, for some great, insightful material. I'm a fellow Canadian and recovering evangelical who also appreciates your humility and openness.
The last two interviews, one with Yancey and the other with Schaeffer, were outstanding. I sincerely appreciate this podcast. I never miss. The hosts are thoughtful, penetrating and consistently well prepared.
Great insights, with discussion of both sides
I am in the process of deconstructing my evangelical views and this podcast is so insightful and helpful in reconstruction of my faith based on solid information. 10/10 would recommend!!
A wonderfully open platform to discuss pros & cons of belief, religion and our society.

Personally it has been life changing and freeing from some long held traditions that I was mistaken about. Thanks guys, for the effort, study and energy you put in to this work!
