  • Church Advance…into total apostasy.

    Bryan Samms is a thought leader of the concept of Jeremiah 48:10. He, and those like him, are carrying on the work begun in Numbers 22-23, and will have its completion in II Pet. 2. I do not personally know of another professing Christian who is more blatant about the approach of purposeful deceit in the work of (what he calls) the ministry. I’m for the freedom to believe anything anyone would like to…but when a man hides what he’s doing to further his cause, and starts a podcast, website, YouTu... more

    I first heard of Bryan Samms from last year’s Idea Summit. Started listening to his podcast and the first one I did just wrecked me.(Why Leaving Full Time Ministry for a Season May be a Good Thing) I’m an Assistant Pastor at a stronger Fundamental Baptist Church and this 1st episode helped in so many ways. I was at a low time and felt trapped in ministry. Among many others, I’ve really enjoyed the “Learn Preaching” podcasts as well.

  • Great Podcast

    As a former student of Bryan, I very much enjoy this podcast. It was through this podcast that I was able to link up and receive my first ministry opportunity. The episode on mental health was great and as someone who struggles with mental health and depression, I could not agree more that it is a widely misunderstood counseling topic. Keep up the good work.

  • Encouraging and Edifying

    Across a wide spectrum of pastoral and ministry topics, the Bryan Samms podcast presents a honest and balanced approach to life and ministry. I’ve had the privilege to take several undergrad and graduate courses taught by Dr. Samms at Veritas Baptist College. Whether it’s in the classroom, on the podcast, or behind the pulpit, I’ve always been encouraged by the practical application of God’s Word to my personal ministry context. I’ve been a long time listener of the podcast and I always come awa... more

  • Helpful and Encouraging

    So thankful for the honesty on this podcast. Bryan has come through a lot and is in a different place than he was 5 years ago and he has allowed us to get an “insider’s” view of that journey. I have found this podcast to be very helpful and encouraging! Thank you!
