  • Eloquent & Educational

    Love this podcast, Glen is such a lyrical speaker and i helping me be more confident about being open with my developing faith. Well done to the team as you clearly do loads of research too! The one about Ricky Gervais was mic-drop brilliant and perfect length for my (luckily only) 30min commute!

  • Troværdigt

    Er vild med at denne podcast ikke følger de selektive ensporede tendenser/vinkler som fx DR og TV2 følger. Jeg har særligt sat pris på at denne podcast ikke udviser jødehad.

  • Thought provoking and excellent

    This is such an excellent podcast - the truth expounded and dissected in such a helpful way. Just listened to the most recent episode on the 6 lies we are being fed right now in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s death - I will recommend this one to everyone who will listen to me! Thank you Glen and all who are involved in producing this podcast.

  • Very Good

    Glen Scrivener is one of my favorite public theologian/evangelists. His Trinitarian emphasis is refreshing and he is easily the most learned evangelist you’ll ever hear. He knows much about church history, philosophy, and literature. He has charitable but uncompromising views of the Catholic Church. And he brings all of this to bear when appropriate but still puts Christ first. Highly recommended.

    A superb podcast, directly relevant to today but rooted in biblical truth. Great ideas, illustrations and techniques.

100,000 Subscribers... But At What Cost? || SLP651
Q: What have you learned about audience expectations from debates and interviews?
Debates reveal positions to listeners, but real impact often comes from personal conversations and listening to how people react after engaging with the material.
100,000 Subscribers... But At What Cost? || SLP651
Q: What role does the algorithm play in shaping what you produce?
The algorithm influences visibility, but we should not let it dictate content; we must contextualize and primarily serve the audience with truth, using data to guide but not replace discernment.
100,000 Subscribers... But At What Cost? || SLP651
Q: How do you reconcile creating engaging YouTube content with staying true to Christian message?
We should aim to communicate clearly and accessibly, use framing that draws people in, but not mislead or distort the Gospel; impact can come from seeds sown and personal stories rather than chasing viral numbers.
Former U.S. Senator Ben Sasse: Not Afraid To Die (Here's Why) || SLP653
Q: Do you think you're ready to die?
Sasse admits unease about readiness, yet finds grounding in Christ and the promise of divine support, suggesting readiness comes through faith and the Spirit's work.
What This Famous Sceptic Can't Deny (Bart Ehrman) || SLP645
Q: Why does the Easter narrative hold such central importance in Christian history, even for skeptics?
The Easter narrative provides a framework for understanding Jesus as a divine figure whose death and resurrection inaugurate a transformative moral movement, which Ehrman acknowledges as historically significant even if he questions the miraculous claims.
