No better duo to do it.

Sean and Chris do an amazing job of bringing encouragement and a peak behind the curtain at some of the best Christian Metal bands. Their conversation is authentic and uplifting while often being very funny too.
Between this podcast and their social media channels there is no better place to find Christian Metal.
If you are an artist; collaborate with these guys.
If you are a fan; send all your support and prayers their way.
Thank you so much for everything you do!

Proof that God Exists and He Loves Us

As an old school Christian metal head, I have been hanging out for a podcast like this since 2001. There have been many attempts, but none of them demonstrate the fun, humour and open grace of the Christian metal scene like KingdomCore does. The theology and politics are left to the side, and the focus is on the music, as it should be.

The news episodes are by far my favourite, but the interviews are really insightful (even if they devolve into the hosts turning into fanboys at times). This should be a weekly or fortnightly podcast, but I am still grateful that this podcast exists because it helps me keep up to date with the music I love.

Keep up the good work, lads.
