Why so few women athletes?
This is a big gap in your podcast. Why such a bias toward just the male athlete? Are you part of the evangelical Christian right who demean and discount women?

Great kid, Fantastic show
I remember meeting Brock when he was a freshman at UDub. Although he got a lot of comparisons to his older brother, Ivan Drago, he is a fantastic kid and has always had a big heart in addition to his fiery competitiveness. This podcast is one of my very favorites. Brock asks great questions and gives his interviewees the opportunity to share from their hearts, their faith, their experience - warts and all.

Inspirational and thought-provoking podcast
This podcast has been a regular spot for me for several years now where I have found inspiration and relevance in the lives of the athletes that Brock has chosen to be on this podcast Brox, genuine and authentic personality allow him to ask deep in important questions for those who are seeking to find meaning in life. I have shared this over and over with family and friends that’s how good it is! Thanks Brock for stepping out in faith to help the world hear these amazing stories of people who have been changed by Jesus Christ!

Good podcast
Through testimonial interviews guests share stories with Brock about the passion and perseverance it took to live their love. Lessons emerge from knowledge gained from their experiences only found in the difficult sports world.

So Encouraging
What I enjoy most about these isn’t hearing another Athlete. But hearing them talk about live and how God has used them in remarkable ways. But also in very ordinary circumstances. Keep up the great work, Brock!!

Need more of these
I love these podcasts. I wish it would come out on a regular basis. No other show gets people to talk about Jesus and sports like this one. Please make more!

Another Great Episode
I feel like I say to myself enough that I should say it to you Brock. The interview with Chris Broussard was yet another in a long list of episodes that both encouraged and confirmed my faith. Anyone who is wondering what real Christianity looks and sounds like, take a listen and be blessed. Thanks brother!

A must listen!
I’ve listened to every single episode! I’m a Christian who loves sports, especially football. ( Go, Pack, Go!) Brock does a great job of getting some amazing guests on this podcast. The testimonies are genuine and raw. They will make you burst into laughter and tear up with joy. I would highly, HIGHLY recommend this podcast to anyone who loves Jesus or sports or both!

Great Podcast.
Talking about the Matisse Thybulle episode on 710 got me to come over and listen to the entire iinterview. Wow. Great stuff and great job Brock on the interview. Today I listened to the Tony Castricone story. Another 5 star interview. I’m going to go back and listen to the previous episodes as I can. Thank you for doing such a type of faith based podcast. I get a lot out of hearing how others have struggled and persevered.

Awesome Podcast
One of the better podcasts I've listened to. Love the tie of Christianity and Athletes together as one and the background stories. It truly has helped me grow as a Christian and I can resonate with several stories that were shared.

Powerful Podcast
One of my favorite podcasts. Brock does an awesome job bringing together a wide array of former athletes and famous people around sports to share their faith journeys. Every episode is compelling and leaves you with a deeper appreciation for what Christian athletes go through.

Brock, WOW!
Have followed your career(s) since UW. Always good to root for a home state guy (and family) on the field and in the booth. A recent job change caused me to tweak my radio habits, and it’s been a pleasure to discover you on 710. Then, your pod came across as a recommendation and I thought “hmm, why not”? Brock, WOW! Living in Ferndale, I started w Ridenour, and then Locker... you’ve created a terrific show. Something in it for everyone I think. I’ve already shared the show w friends and will continue to do so. I’ve cried tears of joy listening to each episode. Kudos to you for taking a chance on this format, this subject matter, and allowing people to simply tell their stories. There’s nothing more powerful!

Together Everyone Achieves More
Currently listening to Brock share his heart and his spiritual journey at the Northwest Men’s Conference. This podcast has been tested through fire. I love Brock’s Sports Segments but this podcast knock it home at the ball park! Thanks Brock for this!

One of the most inspiring podcasts I have ever listened to.
I’m not a podcast person, but this podcast is life changing. I am new to Jesus, faith, religion in general, and have always wondered how people stay connected with God when they have everything going right. Little did I know of the real world struggles that all these athletes go through. Your interview with Tony Dungy touches me. I lost my wife, my very devout Catholic of a wife, in 2014 due to CF. I hated God for the longest time, but have been reunited with my lord through my amazing wife I have today, and my life has been changed exponentially. I always wondered how I should feel with God taking my first wife away at such a young age, but when Mr. Dungy explained how God has this happen to good people so that they may help others, the lightbulb in my head lit up so much it exploded. You might not hear it a lot Brock, but you’re podcast is doing great things for at least one person. Please continue to do this podcast, and I will keep listening and referring it to people I meet that want to know more about God. Thank you.

Very well done
Fantastic and inspiring podcast where Brock lets people tell about their conversion to and relationship with Christ, and how that has influenced them in their athletic careers. Brock stays in the background and does a fantastic job of letting the person tell their story. Lots of great stories and great examples. As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, this truly inspires me. Thanks, Brock!

Training camp for your faith
This podcast is quite incredible. The stories shared are hilarious but also play the heartstrings at times. For any athlete in any sport they will definitely enjoy this as I did as a former football player. It has inspired me to become More of a follower and less of a fan of Jesus

Awesome!
Lots of great stories of local athletes & LEGENDS (Dan Wilson, Jake Locker, Steve Largent etc.) Brock has grown SO much since he started on radio. He’s the man!!!

Wholesome and uplifting to the soul
I am in no way a religious person. I am however the “cliche” spiritual type but don’t subscribe to any money grab religious sect. That said, this podcast is what does cater to my soul. Brock is a great interviewer, and mingles with some big names in the game and occasionally mists the story with a divine bottom line. Cause let’s face it, to become a great sports figure and an influence in the locker room as well as a hero to many a sports fan, you got there with help from above. As do we all in everything we do. This faith has been lost as of late, even looked down upon from a large populous in the world, and I applaud Brock and the sports stars he interviews on this podcast. It’s comforting to know that someone as sharp about the game of football like Brock, also gives thanks where it is do. No matter what your ideals and beliefs, you come out of these interviews with a bigger heart and even more respect for these guys.

Good Listen
I can’t wait for next season! I hope it happens..
Len Broughton
Would not listen again. Two thumbs down.
Very dull, boring podcast. Wouldn’t waste my time again. Probably going to listen to Pardon My Take instead (previously aired on ESPN.........2 as Barstool Van Talk).
SamPonderHatesZimbabwe
Tough to listen to
Just a platform for people to talk about how righteous they think they are. Selfishness masked with claims of faith.
MassDeac
This is Awesome
I just recently heard about this Podcast, so I started listening, I love to hear how all of these very public guys live for Jesus. Especially when so many are right here in the Seattle area. I've been encouraged and blessed to hear all of the stories of God working in the lives of these men. Nice job being real and genuine.

Great encouragement
My wife first introduced me to this podcast as she heard about it through KIRO radio. I have loved it since! What an encouragement to hear of some great athletes and their journeys. I recommend this podcast to many of my friends. Both entertaining and encouraging.

A wonderful find
I listen to lots of podcasts, one includes Brock's radio show. Was looking for something new when I found this. I've shared this podcast with my wife, kids and many friends.

Fantastic!
This is a really good podcast. As sports fans we sometimes forget these guys are living lives just as hard as anyone else. It is refreshing to hear stories in such a vulnerable way. I appreciate it a lot. Been a fan of Brock since I was in Jr high. Watch UW play. It so refreshing to hear these stories about what it's like to walk out your faith In the sports world. Thank you so much for this podcast.

Touching, funny and real
I've enjoyed the many different people that Brock has interviewed for this series, each who has surprised me in their message and personal story. It has helped me in my own faith journey, which has been the biggest reward to listening to the pod cast series. Thanks Brock for putting yourself and others faith out for us to hear and learn from. Much appreciated. Mark H.

As Brock would say "I'm so grateful!". He says it about his sponsor. I say it about this podcast. It really helps for those of us in the trenches trying to influence young people's lives.

Local boy making us proud
As a native of the PNW I grew up watching these men play sports. Mr. Mariner, Largent, Kitna and even Brock at the UW. It's so refreshing to see a man stand up for what he believes in. Brock your reward in heaven will be mighty. Thank you the great podcast.

Keep Them Coming
Look forward to these podcasts more than any other. Brock, how about some young athletes that kids would get fired up about. That'll take this podcast to the next level and reach our future leaders.

I love these interviews with professional athletes and coaches as they reveal the difference that their faith has made in the midst of the highs and lows of pro sports. Brock does a great job at bringing out thier stories in a friendly and engaging way. I highly recommend this podcast to any sports fan and anyone interested in the Christian faith and what it means in real life situations.
