Forgive Temple Pastor for his Ignorance
Let’s discuss the facts he gets wrong here. First, I wasn’t a youth pastor I was a senior pastor in two Baptist churches. Second, neither Tyler nor I went through a crises of faith in transition. Third, we investigated our beliefs and practices for almost 3 years before making a move and I was finishing a PhD in Canonicity studying the first 300 years of the church. Fourth, our podcast isn’t about Anglican practices, if Mr Temple pastor listened to any of our episodes he would know that. We are who we are but that’s not the point of FACTS. Folks, don’t be a Mr Temple Pastor. Other than this one ignorant sectarian, our ratings are doing well on Apple Podcast. Feel free to give us a 5 star if you enjoy the podcast and haven’t done that yet

Just don’t
Was interested till I learned it was hosted by 2 former youth pastors turned Anglicans a mere 8 months ago after a crisis of faith. You should have some consistency (many years) being discipled in your faith tradition in submission to a local church before you start a podcast about what’s fact and what’s fiction within historical Christianity.
