  • Not Afraid

    Tim and Jack aren’t afraid to ask the tough questions or tackle the elephant in the room. Conversation like these need to be the norm and not the outlier. In the LCMS, there are a lot of thoughts, ideas, and issues that don’t get fully explored for myriad reasons. The hosts make their best efforts to do them in the most Godly way they can. This podcast is a treasure and not an echo chamber. Keep up the good work, men!

Even if you disagree with them (as I do sometimes) they are rightfully demonstrating Christian leadership in this way, and it is to be admired. FWIW I am often described as ... more
