  • Man who admits he’s a liar pretends to expose liars

    - he confessed to several disqualifying behaviors on Face... more

    These podcasts are silly. Left but not left but not right either. Fence riding. Never actually discussing the gospel itself which is the true answer to all of this. Instead of fighting over methodologies of how to be a certain type of Christian, why not replicate the only way to do it with the best example being the gospel. SMH.

    I sincerely appreciate what this podcast is trying to do in calling out heretical theology and abuse in the church. However somewhere along the line, in an attempt to drum up support from non believers, the podcast seemingly started to alienate Christians listeners. It seemed like many of the “academic” guests lumped any conservative Christian who wants to homeschool into the Christian Nationalis/Dooney supporters group. I understand having a panel of diverse guests but just because someone call... more
