  • A Great Conversation

    Honestly, used to be more interesting. The time wasted in the beginning of the show should be used to give more time to the guests…

  • Well intended, but ….

    No question that God’s grace needs to proclaimed from the hilltops. Unfortunately, when it’s done outside the law / gospel paradigm it’s often difficult to fully grasp and sometimes (erroneously) gives the impression that antinomianism is being advocated. I listened to this program for a few years and it wasn’t until I heard some Lutherans explain both law and gospel that I was able to fully grasp what God”s grace really is / means. Better off listening to some of the podcasts from 1517.org

  • One of my go-to podcasts

    I listen to several podcasts, but whenever Steve Brown Etc. comes out with a new one I listen to it first. (unless it's a re-air)

  • Grace... once you get that, then your free!

    I love hearing his voice, it’s like the grandpa I never had sitting on a rocking chair telling me about life.

    But the thing is Steve and his fellow hosts share with everyone the message of Jesus unashamedly and unapologetically that His love frees us new everyday and in every way. If I screw it up it is ok, I am a brother to the King. The crew on this show don’t go around making me feel they are holier than though - they are fallible like me. I love that about this show.

    It is great too that... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Toni Kim | Shame Redeemed | Steve Brown, Etc.
Q: Tell us about the book Shame Redeemed.
Toni discusses how shame can be transformed by grace, offering vocabulary, spiritual practices, and a gospel-centered understanding of identity as beloved children of God.
Angelo & Barbara Juliani | Mark | Steve Brown, Etc.
Q: Was Mark chosen over other gospels because of its brevity and focus?
Yes, the hosts suggest Mark provides a concise, action-oriented portrayal of Jesus that pairs well with group study and personal application, making it an approachable entry point.
Doug Groothuis | What If Jesus Is Right? | Steve Brown, Etc.
Q: What are some common false Jesuses readers should beware of?
Groothuis discusses the New Age Jesus as a counterfeit who emphasizes inner divinity and pantheism, contrasting him with the biblical Jesus who calls people to repent, trust in him, and follow him as Lord and Savior.
Doug Groothuis | What If Jesus Is Right? | Steve Brown, Etc.
Q: What makes Jesus unique among other religious figures?
He claims to be the divine Messiah, not merely a great teacher; he asserts authority over sins, accepts worship, and makes exclusive claims about the way to God, which Groothuis argues are essential to understanding Jesus' identity and mission.
Tish Harrison Warren | What Grows In Weary Lands | Steve Brown, Etc.
Q: How do aridity and acedia differ, and why are they both important to address together?
Aridity is the sense of God being distant, while acedia involves a distaste for the spiritual life; they often occur together, but the remedies—staying with God, prayer, fortitude, and community—help heal both.
