  • Inspiring, authentic, relatable

    This is one of my favorite Christian podcasts. While the focus is on worship, the discussions range much more broadly, and it is relevant to every believer. Whether you want to learn more about Vineyard style worship, or want to be inspired by the personal stories of the guests, Adam’s interviewing style gently digs deeper, to elicit the heart messages.

  • Brian Zahnd, Eneagrams, and welcoming the Trojan Horse

    So we are giving a platform to a guy who says the Bible is on its own journey to “Discover God’s Word”, therefor denying that it is God’s word. He denies penal substitutionary atonement that only a “monster God” would require. He denies the wrath of God. He states God didn’t actually command Israel to kill its enemies. He makes claims that there are contradictions in the Bible. There’s so much more.

    The Enneagram was introduced into the Church by Richard Rohr, a Panenthiest (heresy). Its ... more
