Great way to keep up with what’s going on in American Christianity! The hosts have great personalities, and quality guest speakers!

Keep up the good work!

Was introduced to it by a friend, and have now listened to every episode… always learn something new, and have my preconceptions challenged.

Consistently one of my favourite podcasts. Always thoughtful, with great dynamics between the hosts.

Wish I’d found this podcast sooner! Felt very distant from Reformed theology for years now. Great to find some insight through this pod
CMac2834 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/05/23
Like a good sitcom, this podcast has a good sense of characters. You have Alastair, the Biblical Theologian & sage. Derek, the youthful campus minister who is completing his Ph.D. Matt, the frenetic host who always finds a way to direct the conversation toward ethics (his specialty). And...Read full review »

I really enjoy this podcast. I love both the depth and lightheartedness with which they address theological and cultural questions, and they consistently choose such worthwhile questions to discuss and authors to host. I invariably come away having learned a lot and been highly entertained while...Read full review »

For a long time, this podcast was my favorite. Recently (because of their sponsors?) they’ve moved to interviews with rather weak authors, and the pushback/engagement is soft. The podcast used to be somewhat intellectually rigorous and stimulating, but now it’s a big pillow fight, an extended...Read full review »

Great panel of hosts, fantastic guest queue - every episode is intellectually stimulating and fascinating, yet there is always pragmatic application and a practical, down to earth focus. Edifies me, and helps me love God and neighbor with my heart, soul, mind (and strength if I’m listening while...Read full review »

I listen to a lot of Christian podcasts and pay close attention to the interviewees. After listening to the latest episode with Tim Keller and the episode with Dr. J Richard Middleton, I have to say this is one of the best podcasts for intellectual consideration of the Bible, theology, and...Read full review »

But I do it every week anyway! I have learned so much from these discussions and I just love the dynamics between these men and all their guests. I really enjoy that they can discuss, disagree, and sometimes not come to a tidy “conclusion.” I recommend this podcast often and will continue to do...Read full review »

Intellectual, thought-provoking, honest, and (sometimes) funny. What’s not to like?! More of this, please.

I ended up on this podcast hearing good things about the context and background the interviews uncovered with Mike Cosper on the “Rise and Fall of Mars Hill” story — all true! — but found myself drawn into their other work. Hope to stay on top of this one.
Knapsack77 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/10/21
Great show but the sheer amount of bickering and teasing gets old quick. Matt, stop picking on Derek! Fellas, keep up the good work.
DAvit54321 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/18/21
Mere O is one of my favorite podcasts. I never miss an episode, and I’m grateful to each of the regulars for their insightful discussions.
WSWFU04 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/13/21
I’ve had the privilege of “knowing” Derek for nearly a decade now. What a humble and charitable thinker, love that this podcast gives him (and the other hosts) an outlet to help and edify and challenge the church.

I agree with reviewer below I would love to listen to a 3 1/2 hr. episode of the four of you just talking.
steved_10 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/02/21
I really enjoy the podcast. You guys should embrace long form (which is a proven concept). The show ends too quickly and conversation is to constrained by the time limits.
ian.hhh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/02/20
Appreciate their sharp commitment to truth, and their determination to be hospitable to those who differ
Joseph Tay via Apple Podcasts · Singapore · 09/28/20
This podcast is excellent in its focus on the gospel and all its implications. Their different backgrounds and experiences help me wrestle with the tensions of living by faith in the 21st century.
Pastaalan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/12/20
Love the combination of American and British Christian perspectives. Conservative but nuanced
joeysef41 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/02/20
Very interesting and fascinating podcast. Good group here. One of the best Reformed podcasts out there. I have a somewhat minor complaint. Lately the conversations have at times drifted too far from practical, real life issues of faith. It’s more frequent now that I will skip 10 minutes ahead...Read full review »

A really insightful and helpful discussion on some of the most difficult scripture passages for contemporary readers.
SJK1952 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/21/20
I love this podcast as much as Matt seems to like interrupting others.

Hey Jemar did you forget about the fifty years of Democrat party rule over your people? If you put yourself under Pharaoh please don’t be surprised when he (wealthy democrat politicians that is) destroyed your family’s, your livelihoods, your future. Very clever, pre-packaged white guilt for a...Read full review »

An enjoyable podcast with helpful analysis of theology and culture. I especially like their interviews with authors.
M. C. W. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/14/19
I listen to too many podcasts of all sorts. This is hands down the most beneficial to my brain and my spiritual life.
WillDole via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/10/19
I mean this without cynicism, and intend no offense. Feedback should be candid and honest, with an eye to constructive change. The content on this podcast is truly top-notch. Among the various Reformed podcasts, I find myself most aligned ideologically, culturally, and theologically with you...Read full review »
andhiggins via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/27/19
I have been listening to the podcast for over 6 months, catching up on older episodes too. I love the fact that just when you think they are about to all agree, someone (prolly Matt.) takes a spin and brings another perspective that I never saw coming. I love the fact that they take up some hard...Read full review »

They never get to a point, they speak in circles and seem like they confuse each other and probably themselves more than further a topic or discussion. If you can’t say something simply, you simply don’t know what you’re talking about. I understand that when people are in the academic field,...Read full review »

The entire Mere Fidelity crew are incredibly knowledgeable without alienating us "common folk." They truly have a gift for making high-level concepts relevant to how we live our daily lives. They're also funny and fascinating - two words I can't normally use to describe a group of...Read full review »
KatieJoy0514 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/27/19
Thank you for great conversations with a wide range of topics. Impressed by the depth of the analysis given. It is a breath of fresh theological air for an evangelical student used to be surrounded by much “liberal” or “progressive” theology.
RubenBabar via Apple Podcasts · Switzerland · 01/23/19
Young, earnest, Calvinist-leaning Evangelicals who are sophisticated, fairly deep in Christian history, and frequently illuminating. They regularly disabuse me of any notion that "Evangelicals" are fungible goods of low quality.Read full review »

Top podcast - always stimulating, never dull, great transatlantic thing going on.
Petejccw via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/18/18
If you could bottle the rush I get when a new episode releases and give it to every Christian, dead orthodoxy would be a thing of the past.
felixcott via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/18/18
I appreciate the thoughtfulness of the Mere Fidelity podcast. While I listen to many Christian podcasts, MF approaches their topics from a more academic perspective. I have especially enjoyed their recent episodes on Augustine’s Confessions. If you’re looking for intellectually stimulating...Read full review »

I was just listening to the the Genesis Bible study episode and also the one about the Nashville statement. I really appreciate how these guys will tackle some tough/controversial topics without having an assumed or agreed upon answer. And yet, they are still generally staying within the...Read full review »

I’ve been listening to the Mere Fidelity podcast for a couple of years now, and it’s been a huge blessing. I had grown frustrated while grappling with what it might look like for a Christian to live out faithful witness in our modern society. When I came across Mere Fidelity, it opened up a...Read full review »

These four guys have great chemistry and are very insightful regarding the cultural and doctrinal challenges facing the church today. I listen whenever I can.
Nickname denied via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/30/17
Thought-provoking and stimulating. There is great sense of camaraderie between the presenters, even (especially!) when they disagree. Deep & important topics are chewed over, book-club style discussions of books together, and there are occasional guests to provide variety in the format. One...Read full review »

A little in the weeds. Relatively respecful of their non-expert audience. Not sure what this would involve... but am sure there is some kind of software out there where each person could record themselves at their particular locality and then lay all of the audiotracks over the top of one another...Read full review »

It is good to have found these challenging, thoughtful discussions on such a rich variety of subjects.
Lettrice fedele via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/05/17
The main guys that fill this podcast each make a contribution to the show, they are more concerned with making an issue understood than they are with resolving the issue.

I really enjoy the intellectual style of these discussions. Interesting topics, guests, and entertaining banter between the speakers. Keep up the good work!
