  • I have binged this! Excellent!

    I have read Metaxas’ book but this podcast is really excellent. I have learned so much more. It’s engaging, inspiring, and speaks to the heart of humanity. I am on the last episode but I will probably start it over and take notes. So good.

Which is a shame, because it is truly what we need to be thinking about. Lucky for us, these incredible thinkers have done a lot of the work for us—though it will make claims on our lives. So we’ve got some work to do too. But this podcast shows that we’re not doing the work alone. I can’t wait to hear what is to come in future ... more

  • Refreshingly Academic & Honest

    Tripp Fuller, Jeffrey Pugh, and the team have created an incredible audio documentary series with The Rise of Bonhoeffer!

    Given how there are far-right figures using Bonhoeffer’s name to fuel their agenda, it is extremely helpful to have this honest and academic project to honestly present Bonhoeffer.
