What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I listen to Greg as often as he provides content. It’s relevant, clear though often opinionated he keeps it real. Thank you for your patience with callers that seek wisdom, this has been such an example of tolerance and education for me. This podcast is literally bible based infused with doctrine with a sprinkle of Greg.

LJBoucher · Mar 2024

I love apologetics and believe all Christians should know what they believe, why they believe it, learn how to ask meaningful questions and defend the faith. Greg is a font of knowledge, but sometimes he can be a little long winded, so I just speed it up or skip ahead a bit. ;) But overall, it’s a great podcast!

Reginarose32 · Dec 2023

Great podcast! I read the book by Garry Friesen years ago and was so encouraged and freed up in my decision making. It changed my life and gave me peace. But, I haven’t heard many pastors, speakers or churches espouse this same viewpoint. So, thank you for this podcast which, once again, encouraged me.

Greg pairs helpful social/theological/moral commentaries with thoughtful conversations with Christians and non-Christians seeking to better understand the world and how we ought to speak Truth where there is so much confusion
