“A well balanced look at people over the ages that have good claims to be a Christian. Nonjudgmental and trying to just tell the best verifiable facts without discounting their claims. I am sure that there are hours of research for each 8 minute podcast. Gillespie’s editing makes seamless...”Read full review »

“I listen regularly and very much enjoy Dan’s expertise and humor. The Academy’s loss is the people’s gain. He is a former professor, but he now teaches all of us! I listen on my morning commute and love to start my day hearing him. I’ve come to rely on his signature sign-off saying “Everything is...”Read full review »

“A daily reminder that the Christian world is huge in the present and the past - it puts one’s personal struggles in context. God works in all things! Sola Deo Gloria. Bonus: the Weekend editions - Dan’s dive into Christian music made me search for my shoebox of 70s and 80s CCM cassettes 😀. Thank...”Read full review »

“I just stumbled upon this guy and 1517! What fun - I thoroughly enjoyed his biography on Carol Lewis. Just yesterday my good friend and I were talking about watching Alice in Wonderland and now I’m comforted to know that the Disney version is NOT Lewis’s story!!”
