- Bannoura on Christian Zionism
Horribly unbalanced. Even hateful towards Israel and Evangelicals. Calls Zionism and Dispensationalism trash. Did anyone ever hear about Hamas? Not one mention in this podcast of this terrorist government duly elected by the citizens of Gaza. It’s all very tragic. All the statistics cited are from Hamas media. No other voices. Shame on you Preston

When I saw that you interviewed Matt Chandler on your podcast, it gave me concern.

He gabs and blabs like a teenager. Not serious. Waste of time. Focus. Have something to say. Say it. End the episode.
Apple Podcasts1chubby bakerUnited States4 months ago - Openly Anti-Trans and now openly promoting Republicans.
An active liar who promotes Christian supremacy. Like most Christians he uses “non main stream media” without citation to prove his points. Everyone is wrong except for himself.
Platforms anti trans speakers who expands the scope of hatred to any who use contraception.

Preston brings on incredible guests to challenge the status quo in a world that has lost its identity in Christ.
In one of the recent episodes with Dr. Mark Moore, it’s quite intriguing to hear Dr. Moore call out the idolatry of Christian Nationalism while simultaneously the head pastor at his church has been recently seen with Josh Howerton who has sadly shifted a lot of his rhetoric towards a more nationalistic view.
