Theme Music

Love the podcast! Just a thought, you may want to change the theme music to the podcast. It seems to not fit very well with the tone of the podcast. Sounds like the X-Files theme song and the tone of it always perplexes me. This is meant to be constructive, I realize it’s a small matter which does not affect the wonderful content of the podcast. Just a thought. Keep up the wonderful work!

It’s great, but I think they should read the questions. The audio is really bad sometimes.

Dependable

In a culture with so many voices how do you know which voice is a dependable source of faithfulness to the Holy Scriptures. Following in the footsteps of its founder R.C. Sproul, I have found Ligonier Ministries to be a solid source of dependable, challenging, insightful, and encouraging teaching.
