This podcast is my current favorite (just finished episode 7). I find it fascinating. The host covers the stories of those disillusioned by secularism and atheism, those who have come to confess the human desire for purpose in life, those who could no longer deny the existence of the transcendent, and those who changed their mind about religion in general being harmful to society--acknowledging that when people give up one god, they'll make something else god (like politics, social justice, sex, feminism, or academics) and those gods are arguably proving to have a more harmful affect on society. If you're interested in critical thinking and stories, this podcast beautifully weaves them together. If you're feeling doubt, disillusionment, or curiosity, you'll likely find food for thought in this podcast. Bonus: bountiful British accents 😆

I’m terribly disappointed that Justin Brierley decided to characterize Darryl Cooper as anti-semetic far right in this episode. I can only conclude that he’s never actually listened to Darryl Cooper. Darryl Cooper does a fantastic job of being empathetic to all sides of a story. His take on history encourages people to be introspective and consider their own participation in terrible events as well as to be repentant. Darryl Cooper’s Martyrmade podcast is what led me to Christianity. I would encourage Justin Brierley to actually talk with Darryl Cooper and or listen to the Martyrmade podcast before disparaging Darryl Cooper as he did in this episode.

Very inspiring being as I am optimistic and always have been; this is going to help the understanding of society being based on something good makes that society stronger and more cohesive.

Fabulous mix of pragmatic, thoughtful and spiritual, I'm drinking it up like a cool drink of water on a hot, dry day
