My favorite podcast

Honestly, the title is a bit misleading. This is my favorite podcast bc its the only one I listen to. Ive tried to listen to others but they could never hold my attention. But I keep coming back to this podcast bc i find the conversations interesting. Marty is a great host and the topics run the gamut from US History to culture to evangelicalism (and beyond), always doused with a bit of Southern humor. I strongly recommend listening. Its worth your time.

A Breath of Fresh Insight

Marty does a masterful job of diving into a variety of interesting topics that confound or confront Christians. In doing so it makes his listeners develop a deeper understanding of current events and how they can be better representatives of Christ.

Insightful and Informative

Marty Duren does a super job in hosting a real and respectful discussion with his guests. He approaches his topics and his guests as both a pastor, a thought leader, and just a regular guy with an inquiring mind. Highly recommend!
