Sean and Scott’s general, non-specific approach covers a wide variety of topics, exploring each one from a Biblical perspective. While some people weaponize the word “Biblical” to mean “the one and only way to think about things”, Sean and Scott use it to refer to the Bible as the ultimate authority. Their thoughtful and wise insights on the topics have been so helpful in my walk with the Lord.
I really enjoy this podcast, it’s extremely thought provoking. The latest episode really challenged me to engage others with differing views in a respectful and honest way. The Cultural updates are great as well. Thanks for all you do for the Kimgdom!
Considerate and researched.
I'm not a Christian and don't always agree, but I love this podcast because it offers high quality, well-researched, bible-based, measured persepctives put forth in good faith (in my opinion).
One area of improvement would be to have more guests or topics shared by a woman from a women's POV.
The host's and guest's perspectives often do challenge my beliefs. Many times they articulate the opposing side in a respectful way.
Thank you (and the sound crew/support staff) for making this avaliab... more
