- Uniquely Encouraging
This, more than any other podcast in my queue, has caused me to press pause, grab my Bible, and make a note beside a Scripture passage where Matt or Lig gave some fresh insight or pointed application. These brothers are humble, biblical, and wise. And the spectrum covered—age, experience, denominational background—works incredibly well precisely because of that humility and wisdom. Bravo, fellas.

As a church planter/pastors wife, I find this podcast so encouraging, instructive and challenging. I’ve shared it with all of our elders, deacons and anyone I think will listen. It’s also helped me as I lead women’s ministry at our church.

This is an excellent podcast. I have been blessed with some of the podcasts that I have listed.
