Outstanding podcast
This podcast is one of my favorites. Iāve learned so much, and the guys are funny as well as brilliant which makes what can sometimes be a dry topic really interesting. Itās a really important topic that we all need to understand (biblical context) and they do a great job.

Phenomenal content
This might be my favorite podcast of all time. And I have my own podcast... these folks know the word and are offering valuable insights in an entertaining and clear way. I learn SO MUCH from them. Thanks, guys. So so grateful!

Renewed!
Listening to the Pillar podcast has made me want to read my Bible again! So many of the strange narratives in the Bible Iāve ignored or miss interpreted. Iām thankful for these cats at Pillar to help me make sense of these fascinating and confusing ancient texts!!

The Context You Need
I canāt recommend Pillar enough. The hosts are trained in the historical/cultural world of the first and second testaments, and deliver content in a manner that is accessible. Theyāre also a riot to listen to... get ready for numerous will Ferrell quotes. Honestly, if you havenāt been exposed to the ancient near eastern contexts and how they should effect your reading of the texts, you need this podcast. ...ps, I wish I could do seminary here.

Incredible, informative, and funny!
Iāve loved this podcast and highly recommend anyone to listen. Especially if you want to better understand Old Testament context, this podcast sheds light on some important elements that leave feeling equipped to jump into the OT and discover these powerful truths for yourself. Great job guys!

I love Scott!
All three hosts are great, but I particularly love Scott for his knowledge, humor, personality, and careful approach to teaching the Old Testament. Heās brilliant and these lessons that this team shares in podcast form are worth listening to repeatedly. Thanks to the seminary for this podcast.

Love, love, love it!
This has become my favorite podcast. Itās teaching me to read my Bible with more insight and consequently more delight. Iām also grateful for the joyful tone struck by the moderators - itās a treat to learn about God in an attitude of reverence, critical thinking and fun. This is a too rare combination in the church, and to me it smacks of God. Love it! Keep the episodes coming!

Seminary level teaching w good theology
These guys are scholars in Biblical studies. Scott is an expert in Old Testament theology and is able to tie the old and New Testamentās together beautifully. I love to use this podcast as a supplement to my Bible reading/ studies -it adds depth to self study & seminary courses I have already taken. Donāt let their childlike fun/goofiness fool u- they are scholars who donāt take themselves too seriously and enjoy life. :)

All you could ask for in a podcast on theology!
This is a breath of fresh air. The Pillar Podcast manages to bring rich biblical and scholarly content in an accessible (and even humorous!) and way, while still maintaining complexity of thought. I am constantly amazed at the way they take a seemingly difficult topic and walk you through the journey of learning, rather than only giving you the facts. What a treasure!

Worth it
These are real scholars keeping it real for real people. The quality is consistently high, the humor makes you laugh more at them than with them, and they just drop the knowledge bombs about the Bible and the ancient world all the time.
I recommend it to scholar, layman, and pastor

This has been my favorite podcast this year. Wonderful informative discussions about the Bible between people who provide background and cultural information and interpretations of the text.

Blissfully gleeful Biblical nerdiness
What's laid out here might make you feel like you've never read the Bible before- but only in the best way possible. It will make you want to dive in again and to look with fresh eyes at the scripture that reveals the heart of a God who loves his people and desires that they live a life of love in return.

Finally!
I've been looking for a scholarly textual criticism podcast for years-this one is amazing. Well researched, balanced and honest perspectives. Really enjoyable to listen to, and the episodes are a great length. Keep up the good work!

Excellent Perspective
These guys do a GREAT job of breaking down the context and history of what the Bible passages you've heard a thousand times meant to the original readers, and how we should approach them today. And the bite-sized 20-30 minute episodes make this podcast and these topics approachable for everyone. Whether you've been reading the Bible for 20 minutes or 20 years, this podcast can help you understand it better.

Exceptional!
As good as a podcast as I've heard. Great chemistry between Eric and Scott, and some of the most enjoyable Bible learning I've heard.

Insightful and Challenging
I appreciate the podcast as it brings great insight historical and cultural background of the Bible, especially the OT. The discussion challenges me to think deeper and in a way I have never been challenged to think before.
