  • Actually tell us what they believe

    These two are very rough, very honest, and think differently than most people can articulate at least. We actually get to know what they're thinking and why they're thinking that and they make a clear and firm decision on a stance instead of wobbling around everything. Is this going to be a weekly podcast long-term? I was bummed this week when I have not seen anything get posted.

  • Disappointing

    I stumbled across this podcast hoping to find one that had useful discussions using the Bible and founded on the Bible. Unfortunately, this podcast was not that. There was little to no scripture referenced and those slight references that used were not used in context of the Bible. Instead what the podcast is, is a personal opinions that sound like they are founded on the Bible but are only partially. There is more personal opinion and then true biblical based conversations. This is one of the m... more

  • Excellent

    Many (most?) Christians are not even aware that the church has moved into Negative World. We need help in navigating this new terrain. The two Joshes provide it. Thank you for a great podcast. Long may it continue.

  • Exactly what I needed to hear!

    Somehow I stumbled across your podcast one day. I have no business listening as I'm a registered nurse who's not in ministry (besides trying to be a light in my daily life and raising my kids). Your podcast has been so helpful and affirming for me as I left my job as a school nurse in late 2022 due to new policies on my curriculum for teaching Human Growth and Development for 4th and 5th graders. My curriculum apparently wasn't inclusive regarding gender identity, etc. When we are out in the wor... more
