  • The podcast Christianity needs right now

    Gavin does such a good job of bringing to light all those little topics modern Christians hope get talked about in public spaces like this. He’s a one stop shop for church history, theology nerd stuff, good biblical exegesis, and more. Young, passionate Christians NEED conversations on creation, evolution, Biblical genre-spotting, etc and why wooden, mostly modern (1800-present) readings of some of these topics INHIBITS faith rather than breeds it. Gavin is probably the best content creator I’ve... more

  • What a gift

    This podcast is such a gift. I have had my faith strengthened and challenged. Like many young men today, my husband started asking questions about the church fathers and looking at other churches such as the Orthodox Church. I didn’t know how to respond to his genuine questions until I found Gavin’s YouTube page and started listening. I’ve gained a deeper love and hunger for the Gospel, an assurance of God’s love for me, and a desire to reform the church from within. God has graciously brought m... more

  • Entertaining but Low IQ

    Gavin presents well. But he is basically a low level intellectual who hasn’t grasped with the reality of Christianity.

  • Lives up to its title

    Gavin and his team truly take seriously the call for unity and the love of truth. I have been listening for years to his podcasts and YouTube videos, but don’t generally rate or comment on them. I felt compelled, however, to tell him and others who serve with him just how much his peaceful posture and in-depth content have blessed my life and walk with Christ. Thanks for all that you do! I hope that you keep up the outstanding work.
