Absolutely my favorite podcast. Sean, with help of others, discusses or teaches about many different topics. Everything from apologetics (you have to with a Christ centered podcast) to aliens (Yep!). An in depth class of science and the Bible. Including three lessons dedicated to evolution just to make sure that everything is presented as accurately as possible. This podcast is full of historical references to provide context instead of just quoting a church mission statement. TLDR: Variety. Give it a listen.

This podcast has everything from entire classes and interviews, to sermons, debates, and scholarly presentations. Whether you are a new Christian, or have been a disciple of Christ for years, I would recommend this podcast to anyone. All episodes of this podcasts are informative and entertaining! It would take me hours to share all I’ve learned in this podcast. Overall this podcast is definitely worth the listen. Thank you Sean for consistently making amazing episodes for over a decade!

Just came across this podcast. The episode on Origen was excellent. Can’t wait to listen to more.

I was raised as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses and was always taught to examine and study the scriptures. I first started listening to Restitutio to get a better grasp on early church history so that I could see what the 1st Century Christians really believed. After listening to hundreds of episodes, I have learned so much about the development of “orthodox” doctrine, Bible manuscripts and translation, reading the Bible in context, Hebrew, Greek and much more. I reached a point in my life where I wanted to put my own faith to the test, outside of what JW.org says, and much of what I have learned has reaffirmed my beliefs on matters such as the Trinity, hellfire, conditional immortality, etc. I know I differ from Biblical Unitarians on some beliefs but I feel like we align on much more than we disagree on. Sean has also always been very fair with his opinions of the NWT, which I appreciate. I know JWs get a bad rap for being a cult or high control group, but I just want to say that this was never my experience. Like most religions there are some people who are more rigid than others. My parents were always very liberal. I want to thank Sean and Restitutio for giving me a first class education on how to defend my own faith. I’d also love to know why Sean has never taken part in a debate? I feel like his knowledge and communication style would be perfect for it. Thanks! -Mike M.

This Podcasts “Read the Bible for Yourself” series is for anyone who wants a greater knowledge of the different genres of Biblical literature, (Law, Psalms, Prophesy Proverbs) usually within only an hour’s length. By doing this, a dedicated person is equipped to read a thousands- of- years old book without misinterpreting it. Said person will be gain the “building blocks” to learn how to apply biblical texts to their own life. Highly recommend!

The lessons and interviews are always super interesting. Sean does a great job preparing meaningful material. This podcast has helped me deepen my understanding of God and Jesus. Highly recommend!

Love this podcast! Sean covers a variety of topics that will get you thinking more deeply about scripture, theology, and how to live well as a Christian today. I recommend it to all my friends!

Very informative even for the layman. I love the how we got our Bible class and also the early church first 500 years class.

I’m happy to have stumbled across this podcast. I’ve learned many great things. Most importantly, I’ve mustered the courage to share these truths with my friends and coworkers. I work at a local news station where many are left-leaning, but I still share small tidbits from Sean’s show. 60% of the time, Sean is inspiring every time. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
