Podcast Addict5a year agoSpatialist911- A lay person’s thoughts
I’m not a Biblical scholar, just a disabled homebound Christian needing to be fed the truth. I get that from Matt but what kept me coming back was his wonderful lighthearted personality. In every episode he expresses how excited he is about what he’s presenting and the fun of it all. You can hear it in his uplifting voice.
I thank God for you every day. You,Tasha and “kiddos” are always in my prayers. XXXOOO

Australia2 years ago - Theology Accurately Interesting
I first listened to Dr Halsted, “Matt” on Naked Bible Podcast and later found him doing his own… Anyhow I really enjoy his take on the Bible. I listen to him faithfully and look forward to all new broadcasts!
