  • One of my favorite podcasts!

    I just love the Simply Put podcasts! I listen to every one almost as soon as they come out, and they are so encouraging, spiritually educating, and helpful to give a quick but well done treatment of a topic. Barry Cooper does such a marvelous job on each one, and along with Renewing Your Mind, Ask Ligonier, and 5 Minutes In Church History, are always a welcome part of my week!
