“I listen to podcasts of a wide variety regularly. For me, history, music, science, sociology and faith are the go to’s that keep me intrigued in my life journey. The Bible for Normal People (and now Faith for Normal People) is an absolute must to keep circling back to. I believe Pete and Jared...”Read full review »

“This podcast has changed my life and my outlook! Pete and Jared ask the tough questions and don’t try to smooth over the problems with awful “just have faith” platitudes. Thank God!
I used to be really judgmental of “heretics” who didn’t have the “correct” beliefs until my personal biblical...”Read full review »

“I loved the Bible growing up—I read it in its entirety for the first time when I was 7 years old, and reread it each year after for about 5 years (it was considerably easier as I got older, as you can imagine). I was raised in a church that read the Bible literally, thought of it as a...”Read full review »

“I am so thankful for Pete and Jared. Growing up in the Deep South, I felt there was no room for laughter when it came to spirituality. I was led to believe that we were given the Bible and there was no questioning it in any way. There were always questions but the answer was always to pray and...”Read full review »

“Well! Had to unfollow the podcast and this page on social media because Pete blocked Royal Stollar’s request to not platform Tony Jones and theology beer camp! Extremely disappointed and surprised at this. Please listen to victims and survivors and marginalized communities.”

That being said, I feel as though they misrepresent evangelicals and are not very charitable toward those who are more theologically conservative. There are much better podcasts out there for those...”Read full review »

“I like Jared and Pete’s point of view. One problem I do have is it seems to me they don’t get the inherent irony of bemoaning ‘gatekeepers’ in episode 239 while at the same time explaining the correct way to interpret scripture. I also don’t buy into the “we are all parts of the same body” mode...”Read full review »
