  • I don’t agree with everything but I still love Preston as a brother in Christ.

    If you can’t handle hearing opinions you may disagree with occasionally, Preston isn’t for you. If you enjoy hearing different opinions and coming to your own conclusions, this is a good podcast.

  • Thoughtful, Theological and Needed

    So grateful for these conversations. They challenge me, encourage me and convict me. They force me to think deeply and love widely like no one else. Thank you TITR team!

  • So Grateful for this Podcast

    I’ve appreciated every episode and the variety of the subject matter. The podcast on Rock and Roll is my favorite. We are in the midst of worship wars at church and I love all kinds of music. I was a little kid when my dad played Larry Norman in our house - it was the late 60’s and it was such a juxtaposition to our church which had no musical instruments and sober singing. Loved the line that The Devil Has no Music. Thanks Mavis Staples! Keep it up!
