I first encountered Esau McCaulley as a theologian and through his podcast Disrupters. I was thrilled when he joined the extended family of Holy Post Media. This podcast often makes me laugh out loud and always gives me a surprisingly deep place to go with my thoughts. The guests are amazing and the underrated co-host is an excellent counterpoint of humility. Great podcast! I never miss an episode.
This is hands down one of my favorite podcasts. I love the balance of thoughtful godly wisdom with humor and sincerity. I have often been moved and laughed out loud in the same episode. You guys bring joy to my heart in a world that can feel weary at times. Thank you!
You have convinced me to spend the bucks to get out and see Nolan’s latest, if only to experience Odysseus’ remorse at the destruction he’s wrought. Love Chris Nolan and love the Esau McCauley pod gang!
I really appreciated your thoughts on how one might responsibly and lovingly respond to something like the Nolan Wells tragedy and investigation as it unfolds.
On a lighter note, as a longtime soccer fan, I also really enjoyed your stories about coming into fandom. (Maybe you’ll get there someday, Mike.) Thanks for the weekly discourse - I rarely miss a show.
Always a good time, even in tougher topics.
