    Thank you for the podcast you are doing. It is interesting very much. And mind opening.

    Do you have any idea how to be in a work place with non-Christian people and how to be not affected by negative impressions or how to be friendly but not to talk so much about the other stuff?

  • Better together - Trinity Forum and Malcolm Guite

    I have listened to Trinity Forum and i have listened to Malcolm Guite, but together they are the best of each. I had never heard MG speak to me this way. This is a conversation to be saved, to be savored and to be remembered. Thank you both.

  • This show represents what the leftist academy that claims to be Christian thinks

    All of their guests seem to come from the academy or agree with that perspective. Too often they seem to place allegiance to the leftist elites views ahead of what the Bible says or seeking truth.
