  • Charlie kirk was a hater and haters followed him.

    This interview was old news and bad as if she was standing up for a Christian nationalist.

  • Holy smokes

    There must be a word limit, because after two attempts, I’ve lost my previous musings about Skye’s interview with Kelsey. I’ll be more laconic: you got it wrong. The book may be right, the interview was wholly skewed. A sincere young parent is looking for assistance to do the one thing in their life that may be generationally impactful. Never did my wife and I suppose infallibility by the authors, but trusted God for the outcomes.

  • Hope

    Thank you. My husband and I enjoy listening to this together. We especially enjoyed 2/25 Rabbi and Priest episode. We feel increasingly marginalized in our church which has become very dogmatic and authoritarian. The grace and thoughtfulness you bring are refreshing. And it gives me hope knowing that we aren’t alone.

  • Love Kaitlyn Schiess

    Kaitlyn Schiess remains my favorite voice on the show - so thoughtful, engaging, charitable, challenging in how Christians should wisely engage with politics and culture. Especially appreciate discussions with church history/theology for deeper context to help process current events. Phil brings levity. Appreciate Esau when he’s on too.

    I do wish they broke up episodes since an episode often feels like two disjointed parts. I’d rather it be two episodes in a week, one interview & one cultural ... more

  • Unsubscribing

    The show after Easter weekend you talked and laughed about absolutely stupid stuff. For 50 minutes. There is a lot going on in the world right now and the church needs your voices and you decide to talk about nothing. Very disappointing. No longer worth my time.
