I appreciate this podcast for its practicality and thoughtfulness. Although it is easy to tell that each pastor does not think exactly like each other, they are still able to talk through issues in a thoughtful way and arrive at sensible conclusions that do not contradict the Bible, but apply it. Also, it is entertaining!

I go to the same church as the Russo brothers and yes, they really do love brother Wickens!

Brother Russ does not exaggerate. We love Brother Wickens! -The Russo brothers

Great listen

No longer a fan.

I have enjoyed the episodes I have listened to… now I need to listen to others to see if it is something to add to the subscription list.

I love the outlook on the Christian life from the perspective of these pastors. Rooted in Bible, they truly want to help you in your Christian walk.

The Abuse Part 2 has been the best episode to date. I appreciate the tenderness to such a difficult subject. Others have broached the subject but I fear have left some thinking that being a victim is an identity, while your approach leaves no doubt that our identity is found in the Grace of Christ. Victory is impossible for a victim.

This has been such an encouragement and blessing for a young man training for the ministry. Thankful for the theological discussions, as well as the personal and practical applications given. Please keep recording!

Good sincere guys trying to help people with the theological and ecclesiastical issues we face today!

In a culture where it is no longer cool to take a stand for right and wrong and actually choose the difficult rights over the fun wrongs, it is a blessing to listen to this podcast where pastors are asking and discussing questions we all need to hear. These used to be questions taught in the home, at school, and church. Today it is more fashionable to be a bedside internet Christian, than one set apart, and led by the will of God. Google is not the final authority on life’s difficult questions.

While recent pastoral podcasts swing from one extreme to the other, this podcast stops the pendulum dead in its tracks! Transparent, relatable and encouraging.

The podcast feels like a conversation. There is enough differences in age, personality, and ministry “styles” that a level of tension is created. There is enough grace and humility to eventually resolve the tension and exhort the churches. Great job guys. I look forward to seeing what other topics will get unpacked. Hopefully world evangelism makes it on the docket.

Have listened to every episode so far and can’t wait for more. The spirit , honesty , and practical knowledge in ministry is very helpful. I have been in ministry for a few years now and simply hearing someone deal with the same thoughts as me has been a huge blessing. Thanks again guys keep up the good work.

Excellent to hear a biblically sound podcast. Keep up the discussions.

The landscape of the church is becoming more and more polarized. As an Independent, Fundamental Baptist, I sometimes find myself searching far and wide for good, level-headed, balanced voices beyond the good men in my own limited reach. It’s becoming increasingly more difficult to find helpful, Spiritual voices in the podcast realm that are genuinely built on a Scriptural foundation rather than soap boxes and hobby horses. Dear Church is a Diamond in the Rough. I appreciate the truths they’ve so far presented, and I look forward to many more episodes in the future. Romans 14:19 “Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.”

This is the podcast I have been waiting for. Finally a podcast that is giving an honest voice to IFBaptists. There are so many podcasts out there dedicated to bashing IFBaptists. Each episode gives you something to think about. And is definitely worth the listen. I only wish it was longer but that’s just me.

Dear Church podcast is a blessing. I have listened to all the episodes so far. Things have been said that I agree with. Things have been said that I do not agree with. And things have been said to make me think. What I love about this podcast is that these four men agree on many things, yet they also disagree on other things. They take time to hash things out and give logical views to the subject. Listen to this podcast with an open mind. Learn by studying what they are talking about. I bet you will come to an understanding of what we need in the church today!

In a day when it’s easy and trendy to misrepresent and walk away from Independent Fundamental Baptist philosophy and doctrine, this podcast strives to dictate the biblical and practical reasons why these philosophies were settled upon in the first place. Before you empathize with a dissenting former IFB, before you allow someone else’s bitterness to spoil what God has done in your life, before you walk away from the philosophies that other godly men have walked towards, listen to these episodes, be a Berean, and be encouraged.

Thoroughly enjoyed the introductory episodes. Very much looking forward to those to come!

Great edifying info. Happy that good Baptist men are capturing some market share in the podcast world.
