Customer Reviews
Biblically Solid and Engaging
I thoroughly enjoy this edify podcast and look forward to every episode.
Lazy theology
Good example of culturally and personally informed view of scripture vs scripture informing the worldview. Disappointing for “church elders”.
Helpful
I appreciate the stands the Founders takes!
