I love that this podcast exists! Wish I had found it sooner!
I have a pretty extensive line up of podcasts- seems most are from 1517! I love this one due to being presented with new ways to understand things that just seemed weird or contradictory. The hosts are great together, the dialogue easy to understand and enjoyable.
Just when I thought I couldn’t love another podcast as much as I love 30 Minutes in the NT and 40 Minutes in the OT…Tough Texts enters my life. Another great podcast from 1517 filling my long drive to work with the gospel. Thanks guys, you are awesome 😁
Why would anybody rate this anything else? 😁
Great pick of texts. I appreciate the clear and thoughtful responses on each episode. Keep it going, love to learn the Truth.
