  • I tried to Listen

    I tried so hard to listen to Bryce Eddy but finally had to fast forward when he talked about Kash Patel. He makes valid points about men in our society, but his cure is worse than the problem. Your podcast is still very informative and I will keep listening. I’m a rock solid Jesus loving Christian but this was too much for me.

  • Captivating and Challenging

    No matter how many I hear, I continue to walk away with a thoughtful insight from each new episode! I enjoy the many layers of the show that are constantly compared and contrasted: conservative, liberal, white, black, faith, secularity, long-held beliefs, and current events. Keep it UP!

  • Faithful Politics is Amazing!

    Josh and Will do an incredible job touching the challenging issues of religion and politics. You can agree to disagree and still love. Josh and Will are testimony to this as they are on opposite sides of the political divide, but are the best of friends. You won’t be disappointed!!

  • Best at giving voice to both sides

    Of numerous podcasts I have listened to that purport to give an objective view of politics and religion, this one comes the closest. A staunch Trump supporter might disagree with me, as this podcast is not a home to the ex-President’s sycophants. Yet right-leaning co-host Pastor Josh faithfully articulates concerns from the right side of the aisle, and by the hosts’ accounting, their listeners come from across the political spectrum. Left-leaning co-host Will Wright, for his part, has read and d... more
