Customer Reviews
Scholarship for the church
This podcast brings some great conservative, biblical scholarship to key discussions within the church. I definitely recommend this podcast.
Thoughtful and thorough
Extremely well researched and in depth conversations on each topic.
Scholarly, pastorally, and faithfully done
While many podcasts spend one or two episodes pontificating about a topic, “Christ Over All” takes time (a whole month) to explore a topic, while also giving a variety of voices on their subject at hand a chance to put forward their position. The topics they choose are always relevant and helpful for what the church is presently facing , while not ignoring the historical background to the issue. There is a known bias (Progressive Covenantalism), however it is clearly put forward and charitably interacts with alternative perspectives. This podcast is a gift to the Church of Jesus Christ and is well worth your time.
