  • If gospel reductionism…

    … were a podcast! Can you have the cake and eat it, too? Can you have legitimate gospel comfort built on trustworthy, authoritative words of God and have progressive ideology? Machen and the last 150 years of church history say no. These folks are determined to give it another go. Will they get off the train before it wrecks in a pit of worldly muck? Time will tell. But fun banter and good chemistry between the hosts!

Listening to The Mockingcast is like coming up for the air of grace in a world suffocated by the law. Judgement abounds both in and out of Christian sectors, but listening to these three looking for glimpses of God’... more

    I so appreciate your honesty and its corresponding hilarity. The affinity with your youth despite my age floors me. You help me understand my girl, her world, and mine. Adore you all, gifts of God: a human, snarky trinity!
