  • Excellent Message

    Dr. Carson’s messages are featured in this podcast in order for their genius to shine yet again. His delivery keeps you engaged and excites your emotions. His breadth of Biblical doctrine, exegesis, and his practical wisdom will amaze you with the insight and truth he communicates in such a relatively short time. I listened to all I could find when I was in college and seminary. It is still exciting to listen to the messages being reminded of his original genius and what I felt and thought when ... more

  • Thank you

    Thank you, Dr. Carson for your honest, straightforward, “tell it like it is” approach to this topic. Death and the suffering that accompanies it it too often the elephant in the room. May we Western believers (in particular) with the help of podcasts and sermons like yours learn to pray for the strength to die well in place of the struggle, physically and spiritually, to live longer no matter the cost. That then multiplies the suffering.
