  • Life changing

    This podcast has been life changing and insanely helpful as I’ve wrestled through a lot of my past theological beliefs in search of a renewed theology, that is still biblically based. I’ve also read several of Greg’s books and I am just so incredibly thankful for his writings. They have been very healing for me. Dan is great too of course! Awesome team here.

  • Great Biblical Q&A

    Greg has a very pleasant and non-arrogant way of explaining his views of questions people ask about God, the Bible and faith. I love how he uses his immense Biblical and historical knowledge to inform listeners of not just the answers they are asking, but, when necessary, Greg also addresses the problems with the questions themselves, competing views when they exist, and he isn’t afraid to say he doesn’t know when he doesn’t and explain why maybe we can’t know all answers.

  • Starting to seem like click bate

    Topics getting kind of ridiculous. Come on. They pick questions (Dan) based on conversations they can steer to conversations relative to selling books. It’s about them. Seems like Greg helps his homeys write books and get them published. But he always has profound wisdom of the word IMO. I got a nastygram email from Dan dripping w judgement and condescension.
