    This is the first time I write a review and this podcast deserves thousands of good reviews! Keep it up guys!!

    I was raised in the Coptic church and currently attend a non-denominational church after having left the church for most of my adult life. It’s wonderful to listen to these guys talking with other denominations and showing how truly beautiful and wonderful Jesus is and how patient and graceful he is with our sinful nature.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bishop Daniel Breaks His Silence: “The Truth Came Out After 6 Years” | EP 28
Q: How should people respond when they disagree with church decisions?
Trust in the hierarchy, engage through proper channels, and maintain respect and love for the church, focusing on prayer and unity rather than public conflict.
Bishop Daniel Breaks His Silence: “The Truth Came Out After 6 Years” | EP 28
Q: How did you decide to pursue monastic life and then become a bishop?
A patient, gradual call from mentors in Khartoum and the St. Anthony Monastery led him to the desert monastery path; eventually his service and leadership were recognized, culminating in ordination as bishop in Sydney after a dramatic, faith-led journey.
Bishop Mar Mari On The War, Bryce Crawford & The Moment That Made Him Cry | EP 26
Q: If God is all-powerful and loving, why is there still suffering?
The hosts discuss limits of human understanding, propose that God defines good and evil and that suffering has a divine context. They emphasize trusting God's definition and seeking His will rather than assuming human judgment.
Ex Gambler of 20 Years Turned Missionary, “I Was Living a Triple Life” - Charlie Bakhos | EP 23
Q: If you were to talk to our audience right now, anyone that is struggling with gambling, from your experience and your advice, what would you say to them right now?
My advice would be sorry to say, but you could be like me. No matter how much you think that you don't want to get caught up, which I never did, and you probably never did, everybody who's a gambler thinks they have control over you.
A Psychiatrist on Andrew Tate, Pornography, Addiction and Mental Health | EP 24
Q: What role does accountability play in a situation?
Accountability is crucial; it helps individuals confront their issues seriously.
