Customer Reviews
Rich in Knowledge and Wisdom
I’ve been listening to this podcast for a little over a year now. It’s by far my favorite discussion/commentary style podcast about biblical principles, currents events from the Christian perspective, and deep insights into the revelation of Jesus Christ. If you also listen to Cole and Terry’s sermons, this podcast gives a little insight into how they prepare their teachings. It’s been incredibly beneficial for someone like me who is wanting to get into ministry and doesn’t have the proper schooling or people with rich knowledge pouring into me. I’ve learned so much from these guys and have been truly blessed by what their doing for the Kingdom of God.
Calm Voices That We Need
Great podcast. I love how they mix it up with each new episode. They will take you through biblical chapters and enhance your understanding of the scriptures one week. They’ll recommend books and discuss their themes in another. Then they will take a look at cultural norms in today’s society through the lens of Biblical thought. Discussions are well thought out and I learn something new each listen. It has also enhanced my discipleship with my family and friends. Big thanks to Cole and Terry for doing such important work.
