  • Christianity for non-Christians

    I’m not a “believer” but this show helps me understand the Christian take on issues of the day. I don’t feel preached to, but hear discussion among pastors (and other professional churchers) who have to wrestle with serving their flocks while staying true to the principles of Jesus.

    I’ve enjoyed the show for years and only once in a rare while do I think they’re all whack. :)

  • Thoughtful Engagement

    This podcast has been such an amazing blessing to me over the years. There is so much evidence of charity and humility over a such a wide range of topics. I was initially not looking forward to the Systematic Theology of Herman Bavinck but it has really been a blessing over the last year and a half or so. Such rich and deep theology and robust conversations are truly encouraging to hear and I am so thankful to the whole team that makes these conversations happen.

  • Love Being Formed By CD!

    Honestly love this podcast so much and the way it has been not only challenging, but forming my thoughts / views / beliefs / etc. It’s a refreshing listen that transports me out of the slew of the world and back to the true gospel and what it looks like for us and means for us today. I also love that their humor and humanity is kept in the episodes, really comforting and encouraging oddly enough. Appreciate the time and investment to help train up many!!
