Best podcast I know

I listen to podcasts constantly throughout the day and there’s no better one for me than this one. It’s both entertaining and incredibly inspiring.

Philip Heard ,

Excellent!

I know Barry Cooper from his work on LUTHER: THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF THE GERMAN REFORMER, and Ligonier's SIMPLY PUT podcast- both are outstanding. This has been a great discovery. These guys have a slightly different cultural perspective as Brits, yet share convictions with me as Reformed Christians. The episode with Carl Trueman was very informative, and the British accents reached critical mass. This show is a great mix of fun & serious topic discussions.

Great Podcast

The host summed it up perfectly “come for the accents and stay for the theological insights”.
