Every episode I have listened to has been thought provoking and great for needing out.
I love this podcast but your guests discussing Gaza are delusional. There is nothing that Israel has been accused of that could justify Hamas on October 7th. Hamas is pure evil and the world would be a better place if such evil can be eliminated.
Love your enemies is a personal injunction not a prescription for America or Israel loving Iran and their proxies.
I really do like this podcast. I think it’s loaded with interesting speakers and the topics are always interesting. But you see my star rating is only 4/5.
For one, it seems to start abruptly and end abruptly. It doesn’t have to be a Jonah Goldberg “The Remnant” style debrief after a guest, but a little breathing room would be nice to chew on things.
I also think hearing a bit more from Dr. Dru would be nice because he is in many ways our ears and voice to these authors and thinkers - it would... more
This podcast is a gift. It sets an example of how to listen carefully to thinkers from different perspectives without fear that they will undermine our confidence in God’s Word as divine revelation.
It is nice to find professors who believe the Bible instead of feeling a need to be accepted by the rest of woke academia. They so often offer deep insights that incorporate the whole Bible into a unified collection pointing to Jesus.
