  • Too much rambling

    It’s a good premise but there’s way too much banter about nothing important. I got sick of trying to hunt for the good stuff. Also the host brags about not shopping at walmart, extravagant xmas gifts and other consumeristic values.

  • My dose of sanity

    I love listening to this podcast because it is a great antidote to the extreme and un-Christ-like positions and behaviors I see in many of my fellow Christians. I have learned of and read some great books after hearing their authors interviewed here. But the interviews are more than just a plug; the conversations are in-depth and enlightening. Thank you, Doug Paget and VCG!

Most people know me, and thanks to Facebook, everyone knows I believe spending the amount of taxes we pay that goes to corporations vs. what amount of taxes promot... more
