My all-time favorite podcast! I’ve been listening since the first season in 2019 and greatly appreciate all the hard work, great research, and cheesy puns in each episode. I’ve learned so much about the church visible, and am so grateful for the ecumenical knowledge.
Great commute listen

Sycophants for the liberal Tim Keller

Your 7/27/2024 episode of Keller was absolutely disgusting. He was a registered Democrat, and your saying he wasn’t part of political parties (my awful paraphrase of your awful stance on that heretic) is outright fake news. Y’all need to repent and get your stories straight.
