Customer Reviews
Clarity defined
I listen to Greg as often as he provides content. It’s relevant, clear though often opinionated he keeps it real. Thank you for your patience with callers that seek wisdom, this has been such an example of tolerance and education for me.
This podcast is literally bible based infused with doctrine with a sprinkle of Greg.
Wonderful Apologetics
I love apologetics and believe all Christians should know what they believe, why they believe it, learn how to ask meaningful questions and defend the faith. Greg is a font of knowledge, but sometimes he can be a little long winded, so I just speed it up or skip ahead a bit. ;) But overall, it’s a great podcast!
Decision making podcast
Great podcast! I read the book by Garry Friesen years ago and was so encouraged and freed up in my decision making. It changed my life and gave me peace. But, I haven’t heard many pastors, speakers or churches espouse this same viewpoint. So, thank you for this podcast which, once again, encouraged me.
