Robbiejamesh ,

its lovely.

i’ve struggled for years to find a resource that gives me options for ways to think about God. Someone shared this podcast with me and it’s been the most liberating space to come, learn, and walk away with new ways to think about God. Thank you.

Scott101010101 ,

Not for me, but, some elements are good

I used to love the show, but, I support incremental change more than dismantling change. As a human capitalist this show just isn’t for me anymore. I respect the intentions of the host even though I don’t agree.

Best christmas cd EVER! ,

TOP TIER

A must listen to! Theologically sound + genuine + authentic + all the good things! Obsessed.
