Customer Reviews
Insightful
I really enjoy listening to this podcast every week - it gives me great food for thought on my daily commute. Rob and Eric have a comfortable bantering manner that makes it fun as well as meaningful. I appreciate their honesty and the work that they do to provide great background material. Their guest contributors are fantastic and Richard on the psalms is amazing. Thank you!!
Great preaching support
I love the thoughtful analysis of the revised common lectionary texts each week. It’s engaging and helpful. It’s like taking part in a wonderful conversation about how to be a follower of Jesus and how to share what we learn with others.
Amazing podcast to geek out to...
I have not had much luck finding biblical commentary podcasts that don’t make me want to throw my computer directly into Lake Ontario. Now that I’ve found Pulpit Fiction, I won’t have to shell out the money for a new laptop. I appreciate the contextual commentary - placing the readings in their historical context, as well as in the present day context. Excellent information for those hoping to hear discussion on readings that are not rooted in a fundamentalist eco system.
