Customer Reviews
Good podcast (but with American tilt)
Podcast does a good job of approaching modern moral issues from a biblical worldview and is a good reminder about what c s Lewis called the dangers of chronological snobbery.
Hosts could do better to challenge their thinking around the 2nd amendment from a biblical worldview- from my New Zealand perspective it is difficult to construct a New Testament defence of civilians needing a right to own an assault rifle. They also seem reluctant to call out trumps dehumanising language. Having said that as an evangelical with a natural affinity for the liberal perspective I found their podcast helpful for my thinking
