  • Pure blasphemy

    Advertisements in a podcasts that teaches about Christianity. I would accept advertisements in any other type of podcast, but putting advertisements in a podcast that teaches about God and his Word is nothing short of blasphemy. If you can’t do the podcast without advertisements, then find a new job.

  • Commercials

    I love this podcast and find it challenging and inspiring. Just the types of discussions a thinking Christian wants to hear. I do have one BIG complaint, though.

    Please change the way you insert the commercial into the discussion. It is very disruptive and distracting when they pop up in the middle of a discussion, sentence, and thought.

  • It’s been life giving! Love the show!!

    I never thought I would have a crisis of faith but I did. After moving back from the mission field I began listening to the show. God has used it in more ways than you know and in more ways than I have space to type here. Thank you for standing firmly on truth and doing it with class, gentleness and integrity! Maybe one day I’ll meet you in person and can thank you face to face. Be blessed and keep the content coming!
