Great content - some bad recordings

Great teaching but there are some episodes that are poor in quality. The John Calvin episode is particularly bad with what sounds like demonic voices interfering throughout.

A wonderful podcast

Mesmerizing

Dr. Steven Lawson is one of the most gifted pastors of our time. And listening to his preaching and Bible study podcasts is edifying in every possible way. He’s so good at piercing the listeners heart that it’s hard to take it all in. He gives you SO much meat to chew on.

And then he gets into this series if Men who literally changed the world for Christ and the passion comes through the speakers. It penetrates the soul in ways normal series preaching doesn’t. He’s speaking of real men who gave their lives for the faith much like the Apostles and disciples did. A must listen!! Thank you Dr. Lawson.
