They cover topics of faith and culture today that are nuanced and important. Actually this podcast gives me a model for how to how to think at a deeper level and discuss tricky things more patiently.

I have one problem w this podcast. I am sensitive to really high pitched sounds (a common issue with those of us who experience neurodiversity) and the musical intro and transitions have this nails-on-chalkboard electronic squeaky noise going on in it… I have tried to tolerate it but I’ve finally...Read full review »

I’m distracted by the claim that the DSM labels some emotions as bad things to be treated. I’m a licensed therapist and don’t know specifically what’s behind this claim.

I have been seeking a new theology for understanding of my second widowhood. Listening to the podcast on the Virgin of the Passion introduced me to the icon and the Virgin herself as a source of connection and of inspiration. Her suffering love brought me a sense of solidarity but also of hope....Read full review »

I found this podcast through an interview between Miroslav Volf and N. T. Wright.I was particularly interested in that conversation, but soon realized how how vast a treasure trove this podcast library was. I am constantly challenged by this content, and always look forward to tuning in to the...Read full review »

Listening to th the conversation with N.T. Wright and Miroslav plunged me into deep prayer where one is led to Christ, beyond head knowledge to one’s heart. Thank you, thank you.

Thoughtful discussion and insights for life’s most challenging questions

So much is happening and our society has rules where we often check our deepest meaning systems at the door. This works until a year like this year when we need to draw on much deeper resources, and we want a way to connect as a community. This group seems committed to softening those isolating...Read full review »

I have listened to every episode of this podcast and look forward to the next one each week. Many other reviewers have commented on the strengths of the series. I agree and will not repeat them here except to summarize that I find Christian soul nourishment here. I want to instead comment on a...Read full review »

In the time of Covid there is time for much thought. This series feeds that thought.
Smokey's Pod via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/03/20
This is the only podcast that I have felt compelled to go back to and listen to every episode. I find it consistently compelling and evocative. It dives headlong into the pain and brokenness of our current situation and addresses it with an almost ruthless commmitment to the beauty of truth and...Read full review »

I’ve been helped, encouraged, stimulated. I’ve found it to be consistently interesting and thoughtful. Best podcast for Christian interest.

Nuanced, wise, and encouraging. This podcast is important for Christians and non-Christians alike. The hosts do a great job selecting great topics, listening, and adding relevant wisdom to relevant conversations. No time listening to this is wasted!
Rachel's number one fan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/23/20
Have binged this podcast as an antidote to toxic discourses of fear and anger. In a world which is crying out for hope here are some great conversations that go back to the riches of the christian faith and apply them to today.
Michael Kellahan via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/04/20
The stated purpose of this podcast is to help listeners to live a life that is worthy of our humanity. They accomplish this (and more). If you want a podcast that is informed, rigorous, has an ear to the human condition, and is profoundly Christian, this is your podcast! Good good stuff!
Worldclass_Adu17 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/02/20
I have read 3-4 of Miroslav Volf’s books and appreciate these interviews and talks. I have purchased a couple books from authors interviewed or mentioned. And I have passed on a couple of the episodes to friends that Were particularly good. The interviews I tend to like most because they...Read full review »

I read my first book by Miroslav Volf in high school and have followed his work ever since. Now I’m in seminary and can’t describe how much I’m thankful for his writing and now for this excellent podcast. It’s worth the listen every Saturday! Thank you all for making it available!
Heath Queen via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/25/20
I just recently started listening. Thoroughly enjoying the podcast. Recently I have really benefitted from listening to the Vineyard pastor from New Haven . Touched my heart to hear of the struggles Black Folk routinely have. I have heard and know this but he does a very good job describing it...Read full review »

Thank you for this podcast! Densely and efficiently packed with theology and perspectives that offer nutrients, sweetness, and umami every week.

This has been such a profound source of wisdom and reflection and hope in these dark times. I very much appreciate all the thought and effort you put into these. Thank you so much!
KelWatts0830 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/26/20
Dr. Volf’s conversations with other great thinkers of our faith has been very intriguing and inspiring to listen to. I only wish I knew about this podcast earlier. I found out through Dr. Volf tweeting about his podcast on twitter. So I’m happy I found it. Keep up the good work!

Great listening. Stretching my otherwise over lazy mind

As a pastor serving a now cloistered congregation, this podcast helps me think about and work through important issues.

Consistently engaging.

My thanks to Miroslav (whom I met in NYC many years ago on a consultancy meeting on education at the Yale Club) and John (who taught me Kant & Kierkegaard on his first semester in 2000). Very impt and timely questions. However, if I may make a gentle prod, it is that I felt the discussion...Read full review »

I have really enjoyed the depth of discussion and the variety of voices that the podcast brings into the practical issues of our time.
Cnew33 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/11/20
I so appreciate the thoughtful approach to considering the current situation in our world. We need thinkers like Miroslav Volf and friends to guide our thoughts beyond knee-jerk reactions and into how we can use this opportunity for a reset of culture and economy to care for all of humanity....Read full review »

May 2nd was a critical conversation for opening ourselves to all that life can be--including loss and pain--if we would recognize that G-d is with us and shares in our struggle for the courage to let go of life preservers in a dark time.
Soil Sam via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/03/20
I appreciate what is said, but criticize what is left unsaid. For example, the Church failed to prevent this pandemic and its impact on America, despite many experts warning for many years that what is happening - an animal virus mutating to become human inflectious - would happen, anytime and...Read full review »

Angela Gorrell via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/24/20
What an exceptional - and exceptionally timely - podcast! From the first century, on, Christians have been able to turn to the theologians of their time - their “doctors of the faith” - for insight and guidance on the great questions of their lives and time. Within our living memory, we can...Read full review »

A fantastic podcast on fear, especially in our current situation - what a great group of theologians.
LondonerLiza via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/10/20
This podcast addresses an urgent need: to look deeply at the current context, using the wisdom of the ages. The perspective of these three gifted teachers is rooted in the Hebrew Bible and the New Testatment but will be valuable to people of all faiths, and of none. I particularly appreciated...Read full review »
WilliamRCross via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/07/20
Croasmun and Volf are fantastic together. Their book of the same name as the podcast is worth a read too -- a theological manifesto for our time that adroitly identifies how Jesus Christ is revealed in the 21st century.
Tyler Montgomery via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/06/20
Few would dispute that this is a period of unprecedented fear and trembling over the uncertainty of the ultimate impacts of the current global and national pandemic (the Covid-19 virus). I find it refreshing and uplifting to listen to the Yale Podcast by world-respected and renowned theologian...Read full review »
