“I love the variety of the topics and recommendations. The contributors have wonderful insights and I want to be friends with all of them. The episodes equip and encourage me to have deeper conversations with the things most people are talking about anyway.”

“I love listening to this show! I started off just listening to episodes that featured movies or tv shows I enjoyed, but quickly discovered how delightful it is to listen to a lively and friendly conversation on Christianity and pop culture. I now listen to every episode regardless of the topics!...”Read full review »

“The thing that I enjoy most about listening to Think Christian podcast is how often times I get interesting conversation starter ideas I can use to engage unbelieving or nonbelieving friends in conversation about current culture without having to sound “preachy” there’s some really good stuff here.”

“I’m appreciative of the point of view of Josh and his guests. Even though I gravitate toward the film aspect of the show, it’s been great to hear and get recommendations on music and shows that I’ve heard about peripherally as well as commentary on films. Love this show and Josh!”

“Hi Think Christian friends. This is an update to my first review - after the first full podcast episode. What could be better than looking at Christian humanism through the lens of Dr Who and Marvel comics? Great episode- and the Spotify playlist looks promising. Thanks! Looking forward to more.”

“Loved what Aarik Danielsen said about staying soft people - not hardened by the struggle - and that our faith gives resources to do that. It is by God’s grace that we persevere. The idea of being in it with God is really sustaining. Thank you for this episode!”

“I’ve been in a tricky space with faith recently. Therefore there are no faith based shows I listen to on a regular basis. With the exception of this one.
As I considered why, in the midst of a season when my hope is shaky and Christian community feels like a chore, I expectantly wait for each...”Read full review »
