  • 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.

  • Grateful for this podcast

    I’m so grateful that I started listening to this podcast a few years ago. There aren’t a lot of places out there where you can listen to Christians discuss current events with such compassion and respect, while also being funny and entertaining! You can tell Phil, Skye and Kaitlin genuinely get along and enjoy what they do. Pro-neighbor content is what we could all use these days! My faith is very important to me and I try to stay in the middle politically but I lean different ways depending on ... more

  • Episode 712, Theology of Glory vs Theology of the Cross

    Just listened to the interesting episode 712, the New Fundamentalism. In one form or another, the topic has been a common theme since Trump 45, and yet I’ve never heard from anyone on any podcast, etc., frame the question of power vis-a-vis Christianity as framed in Lutheran theology: the Theology of Glory and the Theology of the Cross. What we’ve been seeing over the past 10 years is the eager embrace by Christians of the Theology of Glory. I’d like to see an episode on this topic.
