What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Issues Etc addresses a myriad of topics from faith to politics. There is care to provide opinions from a Lutheran perspective and also understanding opposing viewpoints.

davidjb1978 · Mar 2025

Insightful, biblically faithful discussions and teaching from a Confessional Lutheran perspective. Topics include theology, current events, family life, entertainment, history, politics and more. Always a worthwhile listen.

RToddSDC · Jan 2025

Consistently good stories with minimal bias presented from a Christian perspective. Topics are relevant, timely and engaging. One of the few podcasts that has stayed in my playlist for years.

OccDoc1 · Dec 2024

My favorite show for religious talk. Great help in understanding my faith. The host is always well-prepared, engages guests with insightful questions to facilitate an engaging conversation. A true professional podcast in a literal sea of amateurism.

ccarlmilner · Dec 2024

The Focus on the Family representative didn’t answer any of Todd’s questions about birth rates until the end of the interview. He just gave a lot of talking points after saying they were good questions. Disappointing given the usual discussions on the show.
