    Life changing
    This podcast has been life changing and insanely helpful as I’ve wrestled through a lot of my past theological beliefs in search of a renewed theology, that is still biblically based. I’ve also read several of Greg’s books and I am just so incredibly thankful for his writings. They have been very healing for me. Dan is great too of course! Awesome team here.
  • HALOHAROLDLONG
    Thank You Greg & Dan
    I have been listening to this podcast since the beginning. What I love most is the freedom to share your questions, doubts, concerns, and revelations on the challenges of living a Jesus-centered life in current times on a wide array of subjects. Greg and Dan make for a fun, challenging, and thought-provoking experience. If you haven’t made this podcast a part of your weekly growth campaign, I suggest you do. Greg and Dan are also great writers, preachers, and theologians. Their body of work is incredible, and I encourage everyone to explore their bodies of work. Shalom, Harold Long, St. Louis, MO

    Great Biblical Q&A
    Greg has a very pleasant and non-arrogant way of explaining his views of questions people ask about God, the Bible and faith. I love how he uses his immense Biblical and historical knowledge to inform listeners of not just the answers they are asking, but, when necessary, Greg also addresses the problems with the questions themselves, competing views when they exist, and he isn’t afraid to say he doesn’t know when he doesn’t and explain why maybe we can’t know all answers.

    Starting to seem like click bate
    Topics getting kind of ridiculous. Come on. They pick questions (Dan) based on conversations they can steer to conversations relative to selling books. It’s about them. Seems like Greg helps his homeys write books and get them published. But he always has profound wisdom of the word IMO. I got a nastygram email from Dan dripping w judgement and condescension.
  • Mt.6:24
    Great stuff, keep going!
    More people & podcasts are talking these days about the things Jesus taught (in the 4 gospels), but there are a few of his teachings that almost never get serious coverage. Several references (EXCLUDING the “rich young ruler”) are made in Luke about selling all of one’s possessions & giving to the poor and then this teaching is shown to be taken seriously by the time we get to the book of Acts (end of chapters 2 & 4). Another powerful & often neglected paradigm-changing (IF taken at face value) teaching of Jesus is found in Mt. 6:24; Lk. 16:13-14). This has been called the “Two Masters teaching”, one being God/Love and the other/opposite one being money. What would Christianity look like, both inside its confines and to the world at large, if these teachings were given much more serious consideration and application? Take a leap of faith and dive deep into these teachings! ✌🏼

    Horrible sound quality
    Boyd needs a new Mic.

    Daily Commute Listener
    I listen just about everyday during my morning commute. Greg and Dan give great handles to tough theological questions. They present thought-provoking ideas and throughout my day, I find myself wrestling with whatever they present. Highly recommend to anyone from all spaces on the faith journey … from the spiritually curious to the long-time committed Jesus-followers.

    Wish a little less political
    I don’t always agree with Pastor Boyde , sometimes his political views bleeds through on his teachings , but I believe he’s been blessed with some deep insights into Some of the deeper issues in the Bible. So I find myself coming back and listening to him once in a while.
  • Hammy Hammond
    Humble, Loving, and Intellectually Faithful
    I love Doctor, Pastor Boyd! He is ALWAYS pointing back to Jesus and our need for Him, as well as reading the Bible prayerfully, carefully, and wisely. He does not shirk from difficult questions, but also never just is like “Well, I guess we can’t trust God” because he obviously believes, correctly I think, that our faith will show itself to be true, even while it corrects our thinking on things, ultimately getting us back to trusting in and following the risen Christ Jesus. Also, Boyd is never arrogant, rude, or domineering: he always tries to carefully and kindly deal with the tough questions to challenge us, but also keep us trusting in Jesus. Worth your listen.

    He’s an Anabaptist man
    Greg Boyd, Pastor and author, brings his expansive mind to this podcast. I’m not always a fan of short, sometimes under-5 minute podcasts, but Boyd packs a lot into one podcast in a short, concise way. Also, love the drum solo intro!!
  • KingKrillin
    Excellent Podcast!
    Love the discussions!
  • rghjibghcjfnbbcnmfjbvj
    Did God kill animals for Adam and Eve?
    For the skins to be made there had to be shedding of blood...foreshadowing of the lamb of God on the cross.
  • palejordan
    Contemplate
    I love Greg’s honesty and humility about his own journey and his current theological convictions. So love the curiosity and willingness to think new thoughts, engage thoughtful questions, and dream new dreams. I also enjoy the wit and banter. Keep up the good work guys!
  • mynicknamesalltaken
    Love this podcast!!
    Love the humor. So thought-provoking.
  • holykhakis
    Wow
    Always great to see what he can drum up.
  • terminate diamond lanes
    Great variety show (Bible P-cast)
    Keep the drums. Great warm up to deeper thinking. Phase in more.
  • fortmaclover
    Finally
    Where has this been all my life?!!
  • Wretched firefighter
    I’m addicted
    I look for new discussion questions every day. As a theology and life application junkie, I love the discussions with Greg and Dan. Greg’s books and teachings (along with Bruxy and Zahnd) saved my faith in the church. For years I thought I was alone in my thinking about the teachings of Jesus that were 180 degrees from the nationalistic and militaristic teachings in the SBC I attended. Greg’s Cruciform hermeneutic and Christocentric view of all scripture has opened up so many blessings and ways to see the true God (who is Love). God bless y’all for all you do for the kingdom of God. ✌🏼

    Helpful, I’m a regular listener and reader of your books
    I would appreciate you discussing patriarchy as cultural rather than a power structure God established. Please mention the fall and God’s predictions not prescription that people will rule over others and in the New Testament how man is referred as the head over women. It seems to me patriarchy and the abuse over power existed before the writing of the first five books of the Bible. It appears to me it it is cultural like many other things in the background of the Bible like slavery, polygamy, and others than can be misunderstood as God’s design. Please expand my understanding of these topics Keep doing the work you are doing. Thanks, LAN, Ph.D

    Great content and format
    The best part of the podcast, is that each episode wrestles with one question. It doesn’t go on and on for an hour just filling time with nonsense. Also, I saw some reviewers don’t like the drums, better to have drums than cheesy background music
  • Smoothie2012
    Greg Boyd
    Definitely worth subscribing. The drums give me anxiety though. :/ Maybe that’s the point?
  • SiegfriedF
    All Meat, No Filler
    Straight and to the point. Greg always gets me thinking and I’m thankful that he has clearly spent so much time thinking about so many deep theological topics.
  • KeDaCh
    Greg is awesome
    Greg is great, and so is this podcast, but I’m not interested in the episodes done without Greg.
  • Drake O.
    Where did all the episodes go?
    There are only episodes available for 2018 and 2019?
  • Proverbs 25:2
    Greg has helped my love and trust in God
    Greg is a must listen to when you doubt bc it’s embraced and it has become beauty
  • Playdough's cave
    Drums kill the content.
    I have some fairly major theological disagreements with Greg, but that’s not why I gave the 1 star. It was the stupid drums. Seriously guys, get rid of the drum solos.
  • amarsofficial
    Way 2 go Greg and Dan!
    THE BEST podcast for a short commute. It's become commonplace for me to read the episode title and try to guess Greg's response. (Sometimes I'm not far off :)). Greg and Dan are awesome! One request - more Barbara on the show, her questions are great!
  • emray1128
    Great format and content
    Love the Q&A style and the variety of topics. Challenging, thoughtful, and encouraging.
  • Mcknico
    Great Teacher
    Greg does a great job of taking complex theological concepts and explaining them simply. He is one of the few pastoral teachers that has helped me make sense out of the whole of Scripture.
  • clifton carter
    So good
    Incredible. I listen to every episode
  • JDogg923
    Awesome!
    I really enjoy these q&a sessions.
  • Putz26
    The best
    I love Greg he’s my pastor and there’s no one more challenging or more important to learn from. Only way I could love this more is if you put a large number of questions together for one weekly podcast. Keep going guys!
  • Icecream7384
    I love this ministry so much!!!!
    I am such a fan of Gregory Boyd and Dan Kent...I discovered Greg 6 years ago and read “Letters From a Skeptic” which I buy in bulk to give to everyone I know...this daily podcast is just great...such an array of questions which are totally spontaneous...Greg answers them with humility, incredible insight and grit...I’m never disappointed! Thank you Dan for putting it together...you are such a fun “questioner”👏🏼
  • ncjonyoung
    Great job Dan and Greg
    I’ve learned so much from Greg, this podcast and ministry has been such a blessing to me and my family. Great job Dan and Greg.
  • BobParr86
    Very Insightful
    Greg‘s interpretation of the Bible and philosophy are very insightful. I have been reading his books and following his teachings since the late 90s. If it were not for his teachings, I may likely be in atheist today.
  • drlarrytaylor
    Greg and Dan: most awesome
    I love these unrehearsed brief wide ranging questions and answers by one of the simultaneously brilliant and down to earth pastors on the planet. Dan Kent, who feeds the questions to Greg Boyd, is an insightful erudite himself. Together, an awesome combination
  • valgipe
    Honest and challenging
    I love a pastor that is motivated by his love of Christ alone. Because Greg is one of those guys, he shares so honestly. His theological stances have challenged me and then set me free from issues I had in my faith that I didn’t even know I had. I love these bite sized clips! Keep them coming, guys!
  • Wrightcp
    Great listen!
    Thank you so much for taking the time to answer questions from many of us who may not have the time to dig in this deep during our weeks. So intellectually challenging and engaging. Thanks for the work you both do!!
  • Umstot
    An Almost Perfect Podcast
    Need a deep theological podcast in a short amount of time? This is it. Greg Boyd & Dan Kent take your spiritual learnings to a new level. Just the right length to add to your podcast list. Thanks guys for making something worth a listen! What would keep it from being perfect? Well, Jesus was the only example of perfection on this side of the end. So yeah, it’s as close as we can get. 😃
  • Paigelings
    Deeply Satisfying Answers in 5-minutes
    Greg’s teaching has profoundly shaped my own theology. With episodes averaging less than 5 minutes, this Q&A with Greg is an easily-digestible way to get solid and satisfying answers to some pretty tough questions.
  • Captain Dougie
    My favorite podcast!
    I grew up in Las Vegas not Christian, but ended up going to three very different Bible colleges with vastly different forms of theology. I always struggled with the God depicted in the Old Testament versus Jesus depicted in the New. Greg has offered the best answers to this age old question that I’ve ever encountered and has really helped to deepen and strengthen my faith. Thank you!
  • Roscoe James
    So encouraging!
    I have been so encouraged by this podcast! I love the joy, passion and electricity in Pastor Greg!
  • aj_persh
    Great help for pastors
    These are so handy to get a great perspective on lots of important issues. Thanks Greg!
  • Jrhd437
    A Great Podcast
    The format, content and audio quality are all great. Occasionally I disagree with Greg, but that has nothing to do with the quality of the show.
  • jkb211
    Jesus/love
    Honest, complex without being obscure, calling us always back to a singular focus on the love of Christ.
  • NickIsBestForever
    Awesome!
    Great podcast, but a little surface level sometimes. Mostly very informative overall.
  • Vince Liotta
    Fantastic
    Greg and Dan make a great team for discussing very important theological topics. The discussion is humanizing and lifegiving. I actually love that this is a short podcast, as they're great for short trips in the car.
  • Meyou62
    Excellent
    This podcast does an excellent job of addressing concerns and apparent contradictions of a Christian faith based on Scripture. I have recommended it to skeptics and professing "believers" alike as a good starting point for re-examining doctrine. Well done!
  • BlankStairs
    Makes You Think
    Dr. Boyd provides a logical foundation upon which to think about faith. Thoughtful and thought provoking. And for those who are time constrained, each podcast is 5-8 minutes.
  • Sebastian42
    Short and sweet!
    I have been following ReKnew since the beginning. I have also been listening to this podcast since the first episode. Excellent short and sweet discussions of complex issues.
