  • Love the podcast

    Love the podcast. But can you make the voices the same level of loudness? Pastor Abendroth sometimes speaks so softly that I have to turn up the volume…only to be overpowered by normal voices.

  • Very Helpful, Even for Non-Calvinists

    I’m not Reformed or a Calvinist. I’m a Pre-Trib, Pre-Millennial, Dispensationalist. However, this podcast is very helpful in defending the gospel of grace, the gospel of Jesus Christ, the only gospel that can save.

    This is a great show to learn and understand the law and gospel distinction, covenantal theology, and the active obedience of Christ. Being from a law heavy church, this podcast has been of great encouragement in my spiritual walk. They also tackle modern issues like theonomy, and others.
