Update: initially I struggled with the format change. Seems altogether silly to reflect on now. I am thankful that old sermons are coming out of the archives and (if not entire sermons) then significant highlights are being republished. This new format has proved to be a tremendous blessing to...Read full review »

This is meat upon meat upon meat! Solid doctrine and truth about the Bible, the Christian faith, where I stand as a child of God and the our gift of the Holy Spirit. I need to listen to them over again to extract all that is there. Thank you John for all of your teaching!

I bless the Lord for you. I’m an avid listener from Kenya and this podcast has become a daily part of my life. The richness of the truth and the wonderfulness that the word is, in this podcast, has been a true blessing in my life. May the Lord continue empowering and increasing your ministry, Amen!

Love the content, but please bring back old format of full sermons!

I listen to it every day M-F as I drive my middle-school-aged son to school. We both love it. It is challenging and convicting and just the perfect amount of time for our drive ♥️ I am thankful for God for this podcast.

I have been listening to Piper’s messages for quite some time now. They are both so encouraging and convicting. I love Pipers passion, and he is really good at helping you understand your identity in Christ.

Thank you for this amazing podcast of which I’ve listened to every episode… so far! The truth from these sermon clips are so potently powerful that I can’t help but glorify God
Soo grateful via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/15/23
I can’t even begin to describe how awesome this podcast is. Hearing messages from Piper I’ve never heard that are so rich, convicting, inspiring, and exhorting. Just wow. Shoutout to Dan and the whole Desiring God team for this! All glory to God!

Excellent, comprehensive, clear and passionate teaching. Concise introduction and conclusion. Clear sound, and uninterrupted delivery. Accessible for non-theologians. Thank you. Bibi 01

Was a perfect, 5⭐️podcast before. Now you only get like half of a sermon. When someone is looking for the meat of the word, they don’t want half a serving.
BigAL,MLS via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/13/23
Thank you Dan and John and the rest of the DG team for all your work. I really do appreciate it! However, these shorter podcasts are a difficult format! It often feels like I’m listening out of context, and I feel less grounded in the overall argument and flow of the message! I’ve seen 10-15...Read full review »

I miss the old format where you play the whole sermon from start to finish…. I miss the prayer, the context of the sermon / placement in time in the church, which is lost in the edited / cropped format now.

I loved the old format of full sermons, please bring those back!
karl34567 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/25/23
Great content! App does not play the message sometimes, irritating but otherwise it would be 5 star
321Andrew321 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/12/23
John Piper is my favorite pastor, theologian and speaker. I just really wish that I could still listen to him on Saturday and Sunday, thank you so much for sharing these sermons.
TSJG2484 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/06/23
I find that these shortened sermons make it possible for me to use them when visiting shut-ins and especially a dear brother who is age 71 and blind from birth. They are eager to hear the Word. The 25 minute format is ideal. Thank you, Rev Jim Wood
Reader Jim via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/05/23
Please bring back the original sermon app, I do not know what the circumstances were that made you guys change it to this. It’s good but not as good as the original sermon app. Peace and love to all in the Desiring God team!
Arkbats via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/04/23
Please bring back full sermons podcast. Love John Piper!
Tripple "AAA" via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/30/23
The original “sermon app” included selected full sermons of John Piper from beginning to end. This app edits them down into 20-25 minute chunks which robs the listener of the richness and logic of the original sermon. You’re left hanging. I don’t want to hear an announcer introduce the sermon nor...Read full review »

I thoroughly enjoy these well-curated snippets from Piper’s previous sermons. So rich and robust in content.
Dreaming of the Tetons via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/26/23
Please bring back the full sermons from Bro. John Piper. The full sermons give the full context of the message, whereas, these excerpts are just that. I’d much rather listen to 45-60 minutes to get the full context than a 20-30 minute excerpt of a message.
ILoveBryceYoung via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/24/23
The old, simple format of a straightforward sermon recordings has been ditched and replaced with a over produced and curated “show” with short and spliced sermon segments. Rather than getting a full sermon start to finish (say 45-50 min), you are given 10-15 min chunks. I don’t want a tour guide....Read full review »

Loving the new bite-size excerpt format change! Perfect for my drive into work each morning!

Thank you, Dan Cruver and Desiring God for providing these classic sermons!
Thank u Dan Cruver! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/17/23
When you are listening to John Piper, you just want to grab a pen and a piece of paper to write notes. So much information solidly told, It’s more that just pulpit preaching on the Sunday. As a bible college student, he is a reference in theological teaching. Enjoy cause it’s a real treat !
jbsancey via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 04/15/23
Very disappointed with what DG has done with this podcast. I, and probably we the listeners, do not want 20 minute excerpts of Piper sermons. I want the full sermon at once. I’ve been a listener for a long time, and this change is not for the better. If I wanted a 20 minute excerpt, I’d listen to...Read full review »

Pastor John is great and has been a huge impact on my life. I would recommend everyone to listen to this podcast.
jeach1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/12/23
This is a great podcast with a great host, Dan Cruver! I am listening to it with my teenage son. I hope it will communicate a God-centered vision and make the gospel and God large in our affections and make these things “real” to us.
Lfc250 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/12/23
What a great way to access Piper’s sermons! Thank you!
PhilipLong11 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/12/23
God has so richly blessed me and cultivated a deepening of my faith through the Bible-saturated messages of John Piper. He speaks the truth, in love, but without diluting its intended meaning or purpose—all to the glory of God alone. It’s refreshing to reorient our focus, on exulting Jesus, not...Read full review »

When I think about the heavens the moon and all the stars , I wonder what you ever saw in me ? But you took me and you loved me and you have given me a song and now I praise your name eternally !

No other preacher except maybe Jesus himself has influenced my walk at such deep and maturing levels
M1necr@ft via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/26/22
Such powerful messages enriched with scriptural truth, always so encouraging
Simon Makuzha via Apple Podcasts · Zimbabwe · 06/23/22
Listening to John Piper has changed my life. I have been a Christian believer for more than six decades, yet the greatest and best changes have occurred as I have absorbed what God says to me through Piper. I am not talking about only feeling different… but about being different in my daily walk.
Nathan Nathaniel via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/26/22
These sermons contain god-fearing, insightful messages that point me towards God. I learn so much about Jesus and my own struggles, and the episodes have greatly encouraged me in my walk with God
hcucpuyozfiz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/15/22
You’re better off listening to Jack Hibbs and Jan Markel.
alkalinetrio94 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/04/21
I only heard from this very nice and golden hearted American Pastor nearly two years ago when I was looking for a human rock who could also hold my anchor as an only ten years’ believer, as my only God and Saviour Jesus Christ and I was really very much amazed for the first time in my life by...Read full review »

Teaching me and inspiring me in my relationship with Jesus. His passion shows me where I want to be. Deep thinker.
SharonClaire via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/17/21
I thank God for men like John Piper, and I pray each day that god would find ways to grow, and shape and use me in a way for His kingdom. Pray for faith eyes to see.
thejdhull via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/14/21
I use to love Piper, but after his comments about Trump and throwing away his right. I realized that he thinks he is above others. He believes he can judge the heart of man. Most importantly, he doesn’t believe what he preaches. I despise hypocrisy. Pharisee!
ironchick3 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/31/20
Pastor John is truly passionate about the Lord and I find it encouraging to my faith. I have learned a lot and am very thankful for these sermons and the books he has written. Thank you!!
