We found this podcast when we were dipping our toes into the orthodox waters. I love that Bill and Steve are honest and humble and genuine and I also enjoy the banter and humorous moments. We’ve listened to all of them more than once and it has helped tremendously in our conversion.

I wanted to enjoy this, learn about the faith, but those two constantly sharing their in-jokes, wasting time bantering abiut absolutely nothing, snickering like school boys, ruined it for me. What would Peter Gillquist have thought? smh

I'm technically not a fully~convinced Orthodox, but at the same time i undoubtedly respect the moral/spiritual authority of traditional Orthodoxy more than any other remaining Christian tradition in this 21st century world of apostatized "Christian" sects. The contents & guidance of this podcast are life~changingly helpful and i want to thank Steve and Bill from the bottom of my heart for this enormous service, may God reward you. I've now been listening repeatedly for years and always come back to reference & even relearn important lessons for soul's and God's sake. Highly recommended listen for all. The only objection IMHO deserving of mention here is that in their shows concerning eschatology they clearly demonstrate (at least at the time of recording) that they have no real understanding of certain irrefutable realities of this world secularly speaking, as regards the "sides" in this cosmic drama, and are just as deceived by the Antichrist as the average Westerner in the street. They also (like most Orthodox & most Christians in general) are ignorant of the facts concerning translational corruption of modern Bibles and the false insertion & thus weaponization of certain words replacing their originals, which has created extremely sly yet incorrect associations/definitions and thus in turn "deceives the whole world" (Revelation 12:9), "that even the elect might be deceived". Overall an absolute gem and again, can't thank these two men enough!

im not orthodox but still enjoy this very much

Being someone in search of the True Church, I feel these podcasts are truly a gift to those in search on further clarity of the Orthodox Church. Thank you Steve and Bill for your time and energy in assisting us newbies in our journey.

I first listened to most of the shows about 2 years ago. Now that I have found them thru the old iPod it's time for round 2. Great info especially if you are a seeker or just new to the Church. May God bless all who make this podcast possible and all who listen!

Im very thankful for your podcast! Wish you would continue to produce more

I am a lifelong evangelical who is becoming Orthodox. I have learned so much from this podcast show. The hosts have such a gracious and friendly approach, yet at the same time uncompromising in their message. I have learned so much listening to them.

I've been Orthodox for 10 years and I've learned a lot listening to Steve and Bill. They have brought scripture alive in a way I've not thought about since I'm still growing in my faith as all are. Steve and Bill have a way of making me think and help me draw closer to God. Love listening to them over and over.

Fascinating and personable... The depth of these discussions, the warmth, charm and wit of the authors have held me enthralled, amused, amazed and more intrigued by religious discourse (though always fascinated by the spiritual, not always found on the same page) than I have ever been. Not presented in the form of scholarly lectures (and liberally imbued with colloquialisms, my count of “unpack this” is about 12, 000, just kidding... and assessments of protestant thought and reaction that I cannot relate to, though raised there, either they were very relaxed Lutherans or I wasn’t really listening) they explore Orthodoxy with sagacity, practicality and keen intellectual intensity assuaged by their easy manners. I only wish I could figure out how to move the earlier recordings to my ipod. I await more podcasts, patiently, unwilling to prod or push, knowing it would be unmannerly.... but waiting... .... .... ... Thank you Steve and Bill.

thanks to these two, orthodoxy doesn't seem so overwhelming. I have been trying to find material that goes over orthodoxy equal to a "how to for dummie's", and steve and bill explain it simply and thoroughly. kudos to OLIC and keep the podcasts coming!

Enjoyed the podcasts. I'm waiting for more to be posted! Peace! Wade+
