  • Different from anything else

    This is not your average podcast. He does not follow the traditional podcast format. It is more like a conversation with himself or the audience. It is not clean cut, but it is thorough. I really enjoy the Bible honoring approach, how he tries to discover what the Bible actually says and means rather than following a theological pattern. This is a really good podcast, just don’t expect it to be like all the other podcasts.

Any listener who wants to break away from the status quo, who values authenticity over polish, depth over soundbites, and genuine curiosity over performance, will find a home here.

  • Is this the Church of Nihilism?

    The pastor who preached on where was God at camp mystic seemed to be very angry at God and people. We don’t get happy endings just because we are Christians. Somebody get him a better understanding of the Bible… and some Prozac.
