Absolutely relevant to today

Episode 41 blew me away. Gave me a completely different perspective on a lot of evil in the world today and a better way to defeat it. So many need to hear this.

Great show.

Dudes, the Mattie episode absolutely killed it. Praise God.

Homeschooled metal head

Found this podcast through instagram and gotta give these guys some props. These dudes make podcasts that are both funny and refreshing to my soul! I was not a metal fan at all my mom raised me and my brother on county music. I was also homeschooled so really didn’t get out a lot. This podcast showed me a whole new side to Christian music. I remember giving demon hunter a chance and barely liking it. Now I got August burns red, for today, war of ages, and becoming the archetype in my constant rotation. I really love how they don’t take themselves super seriously but still keep it hundred. Chris and Sean take the time to actually learn what the band stands for and what they believe which I really appreciate. I love what you guys are doing I’m praying for you guys! Thank you so much! Y’all have helped me enjoy a whole new kind of music! Love yall! God bless!
