  • Clear Thinking in a Winsome Fashion

    Greg and the whole team make amazing show. It is always clear thinking, challenging, and edifying for the christian and non-christian alike. In an era of noise and lots of podcast fights, this show always builds up, sharpens, and encourages listeners, even if you may not agree with everything said on the show. Thanks STR team for equipping the church.

    Grace and peace to you,

  • Very helpful!

    I came across this after reading Greg’s book Tactics. A book that has helped me immensely to process conversations and communicate thoughts more clearly. That’s what this podcast does for me as well, but usually with a more targeted issues such as current events.

  • Breath of Fresh Air

    Greg offers so much practical wisdom based in scripture and backed by scripture. It’s so helpful in my Christian walk. He’s compassionate without watering down truth. Highly recommend for anyone searching or looking to further undergird your faith.
