  • Fun and deep

    This is an important podcast for white evangelicals. It’s good to hear the perspective of the black church. It may challenge some of your preconceptions. That’s good! I’ve learned so much by listening to this podcast. Esau is so talented and a great communicator. I also enjoy Mike and Malcolm.

  • Timely, funny, wise

    This show always delivers for people at the intersection of culture and theology. Their banter offers hospitality, and their serious discussions look for what’s good, true, and wise. I appreciate their commitment to human dignity and informed faith. Every episode is worth listening!

  • A weekly listen

    This has quickly become a don’t miss podcast for me every week. I feel like I’m among friends, and as a white woman, appreciate learning about theology through important lenses that I don’t have access to. Also - a note to Esau - I recently gifted my first grandson a copy of your children’s Bible. In the front cover I wrote that you encourage me every week in my walk with Jesus and I liked the idea that the same person who helped me grow in my faith would help him too…so thank you for that 🤍
