    Sean is so knowledgeable and thorough. He has an accurate grasp of scripture and communicates in a way that people can understand clearly. I so wish I still lived in Sterling and could attend his church! Thanks for being faithful to God's calling to share the good news!

  • Was Hoping For More :-(

    I came across Sean Cole and this podcast because of his interactions with another podcast and I was impressed with his ability to discuss heavy topics with cordiality.

    I am not Calvinistic, but was looking for an even handed representation in order to fully understand the view.I downloaded the first three messages in order to take the podcast for a test drive.

    The first podcast was good and Sean stressed the importance of understanding the other side's view and called out some fellow Calvinist... more
