“As a teen who wants to know more about their faith, this podcast has really helped me learn and facilitate myself through the Bible. Going through the Bible, story by story, and really breaking down what the big, complex words mean really helps me personally. Great job!”

“First of all, the podcast has some good qualities. I appreciated the exegesis of the passages of scripture. I only listened as far as the Romans series. However it appeared that N.T. Wright was the main source in the exegesis. Wright has enough issues himself with his view on justification. ...”Read full review »
