Thank you for your thoughtfulness, curiosity, and willingness to lean in on tough conversations. This podcast has helped me pastor people in my local church with both compassion and conviction!

If you can’t handle hearing opinions you may disagree with occasionally, Preston isn’t for you. If you enjoy hearing different opinions and coming to your own conclusions, this is a good podcast.

So grateful for these conversations. They challenge me, encourage me and convict me. They force me to think deeply and love widely like no one else. Thank you TITR team!

Gman Jr. · Mar 2025

I’ve appreciated every episode and the variety of the subject matter. The podcast on Rock and Roll is my favorite. We are in the midst of worship wars at church and I love all kinds of music. I was a little kid when my dad played Larry Norman in our house - it was the late 60’s and it was such a juxtaposition to our church which had no musical instruments and sober singing. Loved the line that The Devil Has no Music. Thanks Mavis Staples! Keep it up!

Janet Bean · Jan 2025

Preston, I’m really increasingly disappointed that you have mostly been presenting information and opinion from one side of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. You have barely had one Jewish voice on the podcast. Yes, you had the Jewish rabbi who is a settler. But I’m sorry, the settler movement is the worst Judaism and Zionism has to offer. My family are secular Jewish Israelis and they detest the settlers. Talk about straw-manning arguments. Speaking of debunked facts, you also uncritically repeated the Lancet “claim” that 186,000 people are projected to die in Gaza. That was in a letter to the Lancet, it was someone’s opinion. It was NOT peer-reviewed fact, but pro-Palestinian media reported it as such. I urge you to go to the Honestly podcast by Bari Weiss and listen to the most recent episode about the Palestinian “traitor.” And then, I urge you to listen to some Iranian, secular Israeli, and liberal Zionist voices for some much-needed balance in your view.
