Love the fun, yet direct and bold conversations! I love how respectful Jim is of Jon’s thoughts, opinions, and insight. Mostly I love being challenged in my walk with the Lord

It is refreshing to listen to such ideas and thought process between two people.
Really like to listen to you both grapple with current issues from 2 generational perspectives. Would love to hear your impressions of writings and views of Jordan Peterson specifically related to men at some point. Thank you!!
