    This podcast is 10/10. The hosts are charming and friendly, and I love their recommendations so much I want a list of every book and album. Seems like a fun group of pals, and they know what they’re talking about when it comes to theology. 10/10 would go to their church in real life (and I do). There’s your rating, guys!
