Sunday School; A Pillar Bible Study - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This show has been such a blessing! The way that Dr. Scott presents the information is so accessible and really emphasizes God’s love for humanity. I love learning about the historical and linguistic nuances in the Bible, it greatly enriches my own prayer and relationship with the Lord. Plus, JD gives some great analogies and asks the kind of questions that I had, too. Keep it up!

It is so great to hear Dr. Scott Powell on a podcast again explaining scripture. This podcast follows the liturgical calendar of the Catholic Church, but the Bible is for all and Scott Powell explanations and unraveling of The Word is gentle and down to earth. Dr Powell teaches at a level that a primary school child can understand bringing depth and life to the word of God. Thanks to JD, Pillar and Scott and for hosting this awesome, always with me Sunday School class!

This is a solid podcast (I’ve listened to the season on Mark twice as well) and I find Dr Powell’s insights to be enlightening. The only improvement I would suggest is to remove the level of banter and interruptions. At the beginning is one thing, but there are several times when Scott is making his point but has his thoughts interrupted by jokes or unnecessary comments.

This is an absolutely amazing podcast. I would give it 5 stars but JD is just too much. I tune in to hear Scott Powell teach. JD comes in and interrupts, argues, and generally slows down Powell’s dynamic exegesis. He has to often be corrected and we even hear at times that JD’s random and unrelated questions take time away from Powell’s explanations. It’s absolutely obnoxious, and I have spoken to many listeners who feel the same way. Please, please, please get out of Powell’s way.

I really wanted to like this podcast series and learn about the Letter to the Romans, but it is hard to get to get to the point of the passages because of all the laughter, frivolity and interruptions.
I think I am looking for a more straight forward instruction.
