“Hi Bruce,
I truly enjoy the combination of sports and faith in each of your podcasts. I was so happy to see the podcast come back in February and your desire to keep these going each week again. Then they stopped again for a month or so now. I hope you are able to revive these and bring them...”Read full review »

“Bruce- you’re not qualified to teach religion or fundamentalist Christian ideology on sky any front. Going to church and reading a Bible doesn’t make you an authority.
Unlike journalism or theology & pre-med, my degrees and advanced degrees, people who spread the great commission do not...”Read full review »

“I listen to every podcast. Insightful, succinct and entertaining. I’ve always enjoyed listening to Bruce, whether it was at the fan, on the pod or now on the Answer. He is committed to his faith and his values as evident in the faith portion of the podcast. Just wish he would do more episodes...”Read full review »

“The We Tackle Life podcast is full of wisdom when it comes to sports and faith. Always enjoy Bruce’s take on the Browns and Buckeyes. May not agree with all his takes but enjoy listening to them. The faith portion is what I truly need and why I have been a faithful listener from the start. Just...”Read full review »

He has helped me focus more clearly on what is really important in this...”Read full review »

Anytime something happens in the world of Buckeye sports, I instantly yearn for Bruce’s wisdom on the topic. His humble yet confident walk-through of a Christian faith portion is a...”Read full review »

“Bruce, like you, a long time Buckeye hoops fan and could hear the pain in Saturday’s podcast after the upset to Oral Roberts. Nice job in discussing all of the dynamics to the game and season- no Kyle Young, poor scheduling by Big Ten/no bone from NCAA after lead in game, questionable shot...”Read full review »

“Bruce....thank you so much for speaking the truth from the Bible. The faith portion today (03/08) really resonated with me. We as Christians need to stand firm in the truth. We need to not be afraid to offend people with the truth that’s God’s word. Our media has a lot of society brainwashed...”Read full review »

“Osu talk is fine, but they do the typical masquerading as “good Christians” while endorsing trump talking points. Hooley even retweets stories from RT.com which I’m guessing he doesn’t know is just Russian state tv and pure propaganda. Funny for a guy who claims to lambast normal US media as...”Read full review »

Guess the only reviews that get on air are those that discuss how much they...”Read full review »
