  • 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.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Brian Guan: Pretended to Believe for 30 Days... Then THIS Happened || SLP673
Q: What role did community and church play in sustaining your change?
Church and Christian community offered guidance, accountability, and support, with personal connections to pastors and a broader sense of belonging that helped sustain the shift beyond personal experimentation.
Brian Guan: Pretended to Believe for 30 Days... Then THIS Happened || SLP673
Q: How did social media and public performance affect your journey?
Public performance provided social proof and accountability, which helped consistency, but there was also tension around validation and pride linked to view counts; the journey remained focused on Jesus rather than the audience.
The Ancient Church Preached This (We Should Too!) || SLP665
Q: Did God come down and become human, sacrifice himself?
The speaker argues that God the Son became God our brother, uniting humanity to the divine source to restore relationship within the Trinity and the Godhead, rather than a distant or impersonal act.
Philosopher Pressed on Outrageous Claim || SLP680
Q: What is the core claim of your insect article, and how do you justify it without dismissing human suffering?
The core claim is that insects matter morally in aggregate and that, due to sheer numbers and potential for suffering, their welfare can be morally significant even when individual insects have limited consciousness. The justification relies on pausing intuitive biases, examining population ethics, and using thought experiments like the veil of ignorance to show why a being's numerical dominance matters morally.

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.
