  • Practical and helpful

    Love the practical nature of this show. I went to seminary, and much of what I was taught revolved around seminary and high-level concepts. This show interviews practitioners who have learned from experience. Wish I knew about it earlier!

  • Orthopraxy Strong. Orthodoxy Not So Much.

    I often listen for the purpose of gathering fresh ideas and to keep up with trends and what’s happening in other churches. Rich has a great mind and is a good communicator, and puts out quality content. But personal experience seems to drive his theology to places I’m not always comfortable with. Wish he was more Bible-driven but his content is still helpful for those leading ministries.
