Customer Reviews
So much revelation
I love listening to these guys, they don’t agree with each other for the sake of the podcast. They each give their own belief or stance and each of their perspectives is always based on their study of the word. If you want to listen to two guys who base what they believe on the word of God, this is the podcast for you. People are always starting podcasts based off of what they believe but these guys, it is obvious that the word is their foundation!
SLOW THEOLOGY HAS FAST BECOME MY FAVORITE!
I love this dialogue between A. J. and Neejay, two theologians from different traditions, who come together to discuss relevant topics, cultural trends, through the lens of scripture and theology. This podcast is rekindling my faith!
