“They have some very interesting conversations on here. I think one perspective that is missing is the outside-Twitter zone - only about 22% of Americans have a Twitter account. There’s a lot of hand wringing here about “hot cultural issues” that could be more useful with some review of available...”Read full review »

“I have been worried about Dr. DeYoung’s ongoing association with the gospel coalition for many years. Now his attacks on Doug Wilson, while still have the log of left leaning gospel coalition in his eye, is too much. I am unfollowing. There are much better places recasts options. I hope and pray...”Read full review »

“This podcast is becoming one of my favorites. It is not the bland, same old, talking points. The episode I just finished with Jon Lauck was wonderful. Kevin seems to know something about everything. What could have been a boring subject was full of interesting information.”

“The interview podcasts are good, informative, and enjoyable. It’s too bad that the sound quality is horrible. I’m young, have good hearing, and I’m straining to understand it sometimes… Also, I wish the article-reading by the host would be a separate podcast so those episodes wouldn’t clog my...”Read full review »

“I really enjoy this podcast, which is why I need to point out how horrible the audio quality of this episode was.
Dr. Piper and Kevin sound as if the mics are on the other side of the room. The audio levels are so low that sometimes the conversation is unintelligible.
These interviews are too...”Read full review »

“I am a DeYoung fan and very pro-life. However, the segment on the economics of abortion was borderline absurd and academically disingenuous at best. Leave the economic analysis to economists. I assume this was in part in response to the Stephen Dubner Freakonomics analysis years ago. It fell flat...”Read full review »

“Many grab a hammer to deal with church leadership issues - Kevin DeYoung brings a full toolkit. He seeks precisions, warns of theological drift, and always gives me something worth chewing on. Instead of gut-reaction tweets, DeYoung tightens up the areas that are weakening in the evangelical church.”

“I would like this to stop being recommended for me. I like listening to sermons and learning about how to live a better sanctified life. For some reason that triggered this as a recommended podcast. I do not want nor need to be stirred to greater anger towards american evangelicals.”

“Love the conversations between the guys, they seem to know and respect each other quite a bit. When they go over politics they are level-headed.
