  • Helpful and Thoughtful

    The December episode on “We Can’t Both Be Christians” is a beneficial conversation for intentional, loving, and practical dialogue about the basis for Christianity and any religion, and in this case specifically the teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Greg avoids disparaging other’s beliefs or straw manning to oversimplify—instead he uses primary sources, gives clear arguments, and walks through how only one group can be Christians based on what both groups believe.

In an era of noise and lots of podcast fights, this show always builds up, sharpens, and encourages listeners, even if you may not agree with everything said on the show. Thanks STR team for equipping the church.

  • Very helpful!

    I came across this after reading Greg’s book Tactics. A book that has helped me immensely to process conversations and communicate thoughts more clearly. That’s what this podcast does for me as well, but usually with a more targeted issues such as current events.
