  • Outstanding Experience

    It has to be said that Fitch is funny. But in all seriousness, I love listening to this podcast. It’s a safe place for a good theology nerd-out. The only “complaint” or “critique” I would offer is that Dave and Mike should increase the frequency of the podcast. Churn’em out, boys!

  • Can’t stand the dynamic

    I’ve listened to Theology on a Mission for quite awhile now. I recently listened to it with my wife and she told me how irritating she found it. Hearing that from her solidified some stuff I’ve often thought but not vocalized… the dynamic behind the hosts is so irritating that the show can often be unlistenable: David Fitch evidently has a radio background and refuses to tone it down. His booming voice often dominates versus the guest, along with his own thoughts. Fitch often YELLS EMPHATICALLY ... more

  • Power Episode with Andy Crouch

    Excellent conversation! Really grateful for how Fitch and Crouch nuanced their positions on power and coercion. They also provided some helpful implications and a way forward for future discussions. Had this podcast recommenced from a good friend and I will be tuning in going forward!

  • Enjoy the podcast

    Been a long time listener and really enjoy the podcast overall. I do wonder what Mike Moore’s purpose in the podcast is because Fitch monopolizes so much of the conversation. It seems like it might make more sense for Fitch to be the solo host. Blessings!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S11:E1 Losing Our Religion: Russell Moore on the Crisis and Hope of Evangelicalism
Q: What does it look like for the church to train people in biblical literacy?
We have to model how scripture transforms. We shouldn't underestimate people's capacity to fall in love with scripture if it's properly presented.
S11:E1 Losing Our Religion: Russell Moore on the Crisis and Hope of Evangelicalism
Q: What do you think is good to preserve in evangelicalism as we go through these mammoth upheavals?
The primary thing is that emphasis that evangelicalism puts upon the personal relationship with Jesus.
S11:E1 Losing Our Religion: Russell Moore on the Crisis and Hope of Evangelicalism
Q: Russell, you wrote that a year ago, or maybe prior to that before the publishing. Anything changed? Is that where you're at today with the state of evangelicalism?
I think we're in a unique time and a dangerous time. I don't think everything is corrected since then. It's time to recognize we can't count on things resolving themselves.
S10:E14 Church Planting Post-COVID with Dr. Eun K. Strawser
Q: What do you think is the main hesitation for potential church planters today?
The number one hesitation is that people will self-disqualify because of warped metrics of what makes a successful church, fearing they will lead something that could fail.
S10:E13 Preaching in a New Key with Mark Glanville
Q: How does the church need to change to become more plausible?
The church needs to shift from preaching exclusively to individuals to nourishing the beloved community.
