  • Good stuff!

    I really appreciated the last couple of podcasts, especially Sean McGever & John Mark Comer that really encourages introspection and self-examination—identifying blind spots, etc. All with the help of the Holy Spirit.

    Looking forward to reading your book!

  • Redeemed Zoomer is a fascist

    Been enjoying this, my friend’s church told me to give a listen—then I find the Redeemed Zoomer episode and I’m reminded why centrists are always enablers. Did you do any research at all on who you were platforming?

    Insane negligence.

  • The BEST podcast

    I cannot recommend this highly enough. I love it so much. It resonates so much with me in the UK. It is soooo refreshing hearing American voices being reasonable, intelligent, interesting, non-partisan, non-hypocritical and non-opinionated. I learn so much each time I listen and get so encouraged. Love it! Great work guys!
