While Reverend Ray preaches a good sermon, many of which have strong social justice messages, should you plan on posing questions or having a different perspective to Roger himself - Watch Out! For off the pulpit Rev Ray is very reactive and easily offended, quick to judge and often more inclined...Read full review »

Excellent talks, which occasionally hold up a mirror to the incongruencies of what people of faith, say they believe and what they do. Always illuminating on yoking together our history as it effects the present and how to grow, build, and emancipate our beliefs as we become more aware and...Read full review »

I love that this podcast helps me to see more honestly about the world.

If you are looking for a Bible teaching church, this is not it. It isn't even used in some sermons, and when it is, the speaker disagrees with it or gives a "trigger warning" intro before paraphrasing and applying it incorrectly. I have attended 7-8 different Christian churches over...Read full review »

A breath of fresh air in these dark days. Well reasoned and compassionate sermons from a smart person who deals with problems head-on.

Good stuff

Thank you for the message you serve! I'm a progressive that often goes the opposite direction of the word sermon, but you have a way of delivering that message with humanism at heart, and that is right inline with my beliefs! I will continue to listen, and I'll support in any way I can...Read full review »

I have the joy of attending a Progressive UCC church in Carlsbad, CA. But I listen to Rev. Ray's podcast each week and support his church financially. If you need a fresh look at what God's kingdom here on earth is all about, subscribe to this podcast.Read full review »

That he would evoke an entire sermon to the Hypocrisy and ugliness behind the Trayvon Martin verdict speaks volume to his character. Those words are what so many of us needed that next morning. We are blessed to have preachers like him : )

Thank you for teaching that not all people of faith are religious fanatics! You offer such an enlightened and open opinion!
Shethumb via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/22/13
Roger Ray is politically astute, socially aware and has the same kind of reasoned logical approach in addressing contemporary issues as Martin Luther King. The podcasts are not dry bible bashing in the least, but rather an example of the real Christian values in action, addressing poverty,...Read full review »

I am an awakened Catholic (IE the church was destroyed when Constantine used is to secure his empire). Celtic Christianity is my flavor, no original sin, no salvation through the blood sacrifice of the big guy's son. Just God in all things. Give thanks, be a good steward and listen for the...Read full review »

Roger Ray's presentations (I hesitate to call them sermons) are always current and on target. If you are a member of John Shelby Spong's "church alumnae association" as I am, you will find Dr. Ray's comments well aligned with your views on religion. These messages are an...Read full review »

These are seriously great messages for the 21st Century Christian church, an inspiring and relevant addition to my listening and my faith life. Thanks for being real!!
rolf.p via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/17/13
It's great to finally see someone taking back my faith from the nut jobs who have hijacked it over the last several years. Christ is love and he said take care of the poor and don't judge. Period. Thank you for once again bringing that to light.Read full review »

Roger Ray is an impressive progressive preacher. I have been a progressive Christian ever since I discovered there was such a thing. I have been searching for a progressive Christian church for over 10 years. Roger Ray's messages are the best I've found anywhere. On a recent trip, my...Read full review »

I thoroughly enjoy listening to Rev Ray ... he is provocative, edgy and always on the side of the poor and marginalized in our society, just as Jesus was over 2,000 years ago. He is a powerful speaker and always makes me think; thank you for being here!
MicheleC720 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/09/13
but didn't. and now i can and do. sermons that are relevant and challenging. no more of the soft and fluffy mamby pamby warm pablum of happy happy theological "believe this and you got your ticket to heaven". these sermons are gritty and real. if you don't want to THINK as you...Read full review »

I get to keep my brain and my faith without the dogma and doctrines. Follow the religion OF Jesus not the religion ABOUT Jesus.
CarolSueCain via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/05/13
Thank you for making me think. It hurts like heck because I was never challenged to think. But then isn't the point of much of what we are taught about religion meant to avoid having us think.Read full review »

I agree with Judysorge. I am so grateful to get back my faith with Progressive Christianity. Love the sermons. God Bless

Ms.
I knew there had to be more compassionate and loving Christians out there. More than ever I think it's imporant to remember - What would Jesus do? I still keep this dated term in my forethoughts, and generally find myself in agreement with your sermons and progressive Christian thoughts....Read full review »

I have only recently discovered these podcasts by Dr. Roger Ray, but I am absolutely thrilled that I have.

So glad to have found a preacher who is spreading the TRUE message of Christ, and calls on...Read full review »

This church and these sermons truly embody the teachings of Christ at a time when so much of mainstream Christianity has gotten off-track.

These sermons really find that golden area between faith and modern thinking. Thank you so much for doing these and spreading a little light into all of our hearts.
b_more_green via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/29/13
I was raised Catholic but as I got older I felt that somewhere along the way the Church seemed to forget the actual teachings of Jesus. I am grateful to have found these sermons and Rev Ray's church through their online presence. It's refreshing to listen to messages of social justice, charity...Read full review »

This is the podcast for the many of us who in recent years have all but given up on mainstream "religion." If you identify yourself as "spiritual, not religious," you will find Dr. Ray's weekly sermons inspiring, thought-provoking, and at times quite funny. You'll also...Read full review »
InThePastLane via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/29/13
Some sermons are designed to make one feel an emotion, but too often, I think the emotion they're looking for is fear rather than joy. That's not what Dr. Ray is about. He wants to make you think and take action, like the proverb, "When you pray, move your feet.". Whether...Read full review »

Progressive messages that must be shared.
Chasfred via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/29/13
If every person in our country could hear this powerful sermon and reflect on its message, perhaps we could begin to right the many wrongs in our society, begin an honest dialog to improve our treatment of the poor and those in the minority, and find ways to listen to and understand one another. ...Read full review »

Most church sermons have put me to sleep or made me angry with their theological blinders and magical thinking. Rev Dr. Ray's sermons leave me inspired to go out and actually live the teachings of Jesus. I hope to find a church like this in my community soon.Read full review »

I have been listening to Roger Ray's podcast for quite a while and I am always inspired by what he has to say in relating our Christian faith to current events.
