Customer Reviews
Cultural Literacy?
I’ll freely admit I do not spend much time following all the people and podcasts and programs and ‘present paradigms’… but the absolute storm of all the references during the podcast discussion to all these current people and controversies make following the discussion a bit difficult to follow…
Perhaps you could consider providing a bit of context… dropping some breadcrumbs for those who are not as culturally tuned in to all the current events?
I’m certain the references you make are totally valid and useful… but if the listener can’t connect, has communication and teaching actually occurred?
Steady references to ‘established’ cultural cornerstones such as CS Lewis are prime examples of how these references inspire the listener to expand and grow… but there is so much chaff in today’s Church, a bit of a guidebook would be helpful…
Truth afire
I heard of you listening to Right Response Ministries. I listened to one episode and I am hooked- the truth is convicting and the solutions are biblical. My favorite CS Lewis is quoted, encouraging me to go back and reread. I am home sick but am finding healing for my poor, bruised soul. Thank you
Edifying podcast that is refreshingly free of “nuance”
This is my favorite podcast! It features two regular people - not Big Eva superstars - with cultural and theological commentary that is faithful to the Bible. The episodes with Dr. Jared Moore and Conley Owens were very edifying. And, I really enjoy all the Lewis references. But, the real strength of this podcast is that the hosts are grounded in real life. They are regular people encouraging simple fidelity to Jesus without “nuance,” which is really just friendship with the world.
