My favorite podcast on preaching. Lots of variety of topics, and lots of pure informal talks with preachers.
Love spending time here
This is my favorite place to go to find solace in this crazy world. The story telling is engaging and the commentary afterward helps to put the lesson in perspective.
So helpful!
I love this podcast! Each and every week I’m excited to listen to the episode because it’s not just a great new guest and fresh content (which it is! And a hard thing to do well!), but it’s actually so helpful for me as a preacher!
Worth a listen

Even though I don’t go to church anymore, there are times when I really need a sense of connection to God, and this podcast has become a meaningful place to find that. What I app...
