I have gleaned much from this podcast over the years, particularly from the episodes truly centered on life with God. But when the hosts try to talk politics/social justice, the tangible spark of the Spirit is almost always diminished… it feels like shallow, one-dimensional moralizing rather than genuine inspiration or even unbiased, thoughtful discussion.
