Customer Reviews
Peter Nygard
What does Peter Nygard and a long dead Inn keeper have in common with Canadian Intelligence member?
Is it to do with the dead inn keeper wanting to help his son find closure from an attempted abduction in Toronto in 1977-78?
Was the kid ”Ugly” set up by his dads good friend whom happened to be a child trafficking biker?
Is the dead inn keepers son and two children of 7 and 8 years being used to keep this witness silenced still to this day? And what’s it all got to do with an x Olympic snowboarder and an IT guy? Let’s all hope to know more from Tim Sawa at CBC
Rubbish
Heretical filth. Pray for these men to repent while there’s still time.
Where are are the non-White-male voices?
As a White guy, I'm becoming more sensitive to the need to listen to diverse voices. But of the 16 most recent guests on this podcast, 75% are both White and Male. As far as I can tell, there were two Black guests -- both presenting as male -- and three women. Many of the problems of Evangelical Christianity can be traced to excessive listenting to White Male points of view pretty much exclusively. I would like to see more balance in the lineup, more attempt for the hosts to step outside their comfort zone. If you don't know any non-White-Males, you might consider some of the guests on Evolving Faith, which does pretty well at diversity.
