  • Good vibes

    I have listened to a lot of podcasts over the years, and this one is by far my favorite. You guys crack me up. A perfect blend of theology and humor, go figure. I don’t always drink Guinness, but when I do it’s while listening to the Ringside podcast

    (just kidding, I always drink Guinness).

  • Too Funny and Too True

    You guys keep me laughing even when talking about the most serious topics of life, death, faith, and hope. No wonder most people don’t know what to do with you: Pastors aren’t supposed to have a sense of humor ;)
