- Heavily Political and Not Neutral
I listened to several episodes over the last 6 months hoping to glean more wisdom. Sadly nearly all delved into political if not fully immersed.

United States10 days ago - Thoughtful & Encouraging
Preston, your insights, honesty and attitude are inspiring and encouraging. I’ve been listening to TITR for years but don’t make comments or rate podcasts.

Thanks for all you do!

Apple Podcasts5Regular ChristianUnited States2 months ago - Grift for modern agenda
I’ve listened off and on for a few months. There’s too many episodes I can’t get on board for. I guess we’re supposed to know they’re out there and here their story? The bible has demonstrated many stories where God leaves societies that ignore scripture. This podcast is supporting that direction and the further decay of the west. Aimee Bryd was the nail in the coffin for me. Got thru 3/4 of the perpetual victim lecturing and decided the podcast channel is not worth any more of my time.
