Customer Reviews
From an atheist's point of view...
This may be a Christian podcast but I really appreciate his candor and openmindedness. I don't feel like atheists are being attacked, instead I feel like our views are listened to and objectively argued. Very constructive and again apreciated (this, coming from someone who has had her Darwin fish on her car broken off 4 times)
So far so good
I've only listened to a couple so far, but I really like this format of casual discussion over why we believe what we believe. Michael takes different approaches on how to respond to popular arguments against Christianity - in everyday language.
One of my favorites Podcasts
Michael does a great job of bringing sound apologetics to everyday conversations. Very entertaining and relevant. I highly recommend subscribing!
