  • My favorite podcast, hands down

    As a pastor, this is hands down my favorite ministry podcast. But it’s not just for those in ministry. I’ve recommended it for many of my church members and they all have loved it. Insightful, funny, informative, edifying, challenging, and encouraging. Make sure to listen to them all!

  • Entertaining and Edifying

    I love how these interviews are conducted in person and are a longer format. There are many other Christian podcasts that interview authors who are promoting books but this one is the best!

  • Keep going!

    Hi Sean. I so appreciate your podcast platform. Your interviews bring together the body of Christ in a time when it’s all to easy to sit behind a keyboard to type uncharitable comments. Your warm demeanor and yet clear minded questions pulls me in on every episode. I don’t agree with every brother/ sister you may interview, but that’s probably the point of “ room for nuance “. Keep at it brother. I hope one day I can visit you in Decatur sometime soon. Blessings

  • Best long form podcast I listen to. Better than JRE and Lex- content is interesting as well as encouraging and edifying. Many of these episodes cause me to love the Lord Jesus Christ more than before I listened.
