What I’ve been looking for…

One The Line is a thought provoking and challenging long form podcast. I have enjoyed the conversational style of the interviews, the excellent questions from Bryan, and the caliber of the guests. This is a needed addition to the Lutheran space as well as an excellently produced podcast by any standards.
Martin Luther ;)

Thank God for the works done by Him through his servants!

Love the channel. As an LCMS Lutheran I couldn’t be more pleased with the effort and craft of this podcast. One I listen to while driving truck for a living. Keeps my miles on the road well informed and close to The Lord.

Wonderful topic!

Mission field can be so very dangerous. Thanking God for those who are willing to experience personal injury to spread the Word in the world.

Thought provoking, Confessional, In depth!

One episode was shared with me and I’ve been devouring and sharing the rest since then! Thank you for having the vision and insight to see the need. God be praised and May He continue to bless this project.

Finally!

Finally a conservative Lutheran podcast with long form conversations. Host is phenomenal and the guests are knowledgeable and interesting.

On the Line is On Point

If you enjoy the likes of Joe Rogan and Shawn Ryan but are tired of being on “high alert” for bad ideas, you may find a solace here. This world of uncertainty and disbelief props up intellectual and charismatic champions who casually discuss their counter-Christian interpretations of history, science, society, and the soul on similar shows, but not so with On the Line. Enjoy some of today’s academic heroes of the faith as they are made approachable and relatable in this truly inspiring long-form conversational podcast. May God bless this show and use it to rekindle the love of many that has grown cold and spark the fire of truth for those who have yet come to the knowledge and faith in Christ!
