“I really enjoy this very light hearted podcast, with a constant note of you’re probably right.
I appreciate that they come from the position of understanding rather than judgement. It resonates with me because it’s kind and funny.”

“Aren’t we past men hogging the mic and platforming their narrative only about women? Would be v.interested to hear about the experiences of the exes disparaged in that episode. “Every outsider you are safe here, whosoever” ?”

“The reason the people were scattered at the tower of Babble is because after the flood, God had commanded the people to scatter over the face of the earth. Instead, they all got together and stayed in one place instead of scattering. So ultimately they were being disobedient, which is why God...”Read full review »

“Literally laughed out loud about the Cadbury stuff! Was in Belfast a few weeks before Easter & the stores were FILLED with Cadbury eggs, etc. I had to get a picture of the wee store actually half filled with the chocolate Easter display. Cannot imagine why we Americans haven’t caught on…yet!”

“This is a fun and joy filled podcast. Hearing the point of view of a couple of Northern Irishmen is fun, but (as they admit) these two are NOT theologians. It is sad to hear they don’t believe the literal interpretation of the Genesis creation story.”

“When Garett was mentioning his option for why Purity Culture was so attractive, he said that as a young person you want the black and whites. It’s a road to follow and it’s clear, not messy. This was clearly evident in a similar movement in the 90s, Straight Edge culture (google it), a secular...”Read full review »
