  • Disappointing interview with Dale Allison

    This is a review of two older episodes (4/02/23 and 4/07/23) featuring an interview with Dale Allison about the resurrection. I am hesitant to give a podcast a low rating because of a disingenuous or misleading guest because I know a host cannot really keep a guest from blowing smoke and blurring the line between facts and beliefs. At the same time, a host can ask tough questions and ask a guest to provide evidence for their claims. The host of this podcast did neither in the two-part interview ... more

  • I love the new 2 part podcasts

    This is an intelligent and thought provoking podcast that keeps expanding my heart and my horizons! The God I know is so much bigger than the box that most churches try to stuff Him into…and this podcast of love stretches me each time! I appreciate the 2 part podcasts…allows for the discussions to not be rushed and I am able to be thoughtfully more engaged.

  • A beacon for hope

    I’ve been listening to this podcast since the beginning; coincidentally, at the start of my real (digging in, relational, let’s wrestle with it) faith journey. I didn’t grow up in church and God was only mentioned when my dad swore. I like to say that I met Jesus later in life, but like those who did grow up in church, I had to, in time, figure out my own faith for myself. This podcast has introduced me to guests and text who would become the true influencers of my life. This podcast has given m... more
