  • Thank you!

    Thank you so much for covering IVG today - 10/2/2025. This needs to be addressed urgently. Much worse than abortion in my opinion.

  • The place to go.

    It’s hard to find a good Christian conservative to listen to, especially after recent events.

  • Informative and biblical

    I’ve been a listener for years and really appreciate Dr. Mohler’s perspective on current events.

    However, I have to say I don’t think he represented Charlie Kirk very well. Kirk, although he was a political commentator, constantly shared the Gospel on campuses, pointed students to Jesus, rooted his political beliefs in the Bible. Kirk was an evangelist and now, a martyr.

    Genuinely though, thank you Dr. Mohler for this podcast and your careful consideration on most topics.

  • Not as impressed as I was

    After hearing some of these podcasts, I am at the same time impressed with how he does them and with the information he gives and on the other hand disappointed with how he deals with some subjects. How he didn’t first sympathize with Charlie Kirk’s family before talking politics is quite disappointing; also how he doesn’t admit that vaccines could be a cause for autism is quite biased toward the pharmaceutical companies

  • False Information

    I have been listening to Mohler for a few years now. His Christian worldview is helpful, encouraging and challenging. His thoughts on the Menéndez recent parol hearings had false claims. For example he stated that all the jurors from the trials are gone. If indeed he is claiming the jurors are all dead, he is wrong. In fact, some jurors from the trials have recently spoken out publicly. Think critically when listening to his show, especially when it comes to issues that he is not an expert such ... more

Friday, October 24, 2025
Q: How should we interpret Genesis regarding the use of pre-existing sources?
