Great podcast!

The banter and the hosts’ genuine friendship keeps it fun, and I truly appreciate how much thought and nuance they provide to complex issues facing the Church!

“Like”

I really wanted to listen to this but couldn’t believe how the word like was used 4-6 times in every sentence. Sounds very immature and unprofessional. I’ll find another Bible study podcast.

You might want to think about how your listeners feel.

I have just recently (within three last 10 days) started studying the Bible. I found your podcast today and started listening to the intro podcast, recorded at the beginning o2021. Imagine how I feel with my NIV as a beginning studying t to think that I’m being called ‘less than’ for not using a more traditional version. This came out sounding sanctimonious, at minimum.
I actually started with Jesus Calling and use it to launch my daily lessons. I also have the APP Abide which has led me to learn and discover more verses and then of course those lead me to read further. I really don’t think your flippant descriptions of the readers of the NIV was not ill intended, but it really didn’t feel encouraging for a new comer. Perhaps you need to re-listen to this into pice with different ears. And perhaps re record with a different focus, to help new listeners, not dissuade them.
