Customer Reviews
Prophetic and poignant
I discovered Slow Theology after reading After Doubt - a book I DEVOURED that God used to finally draw me from deconstruction to reconstruction…this podcast has been such a deep well that’s nourished my soul. Nijay and AJ have such articulate, nuanced and candid conversations that both encourage my faith and motivate me to love God and others more deeply, and don’t shy away from the messy or complicated parts of Scripture and church tradition. Thank you both SO very much for your faithful work!
The Podcast We ALL Need …
This podcast has been such a God-send for me, not only because I’m a young pastor but also because of the friends around me who have walked through deconstruction and doubt in their faith.
Both AJ & Nijay are two theological minds I have respected for a long time because of how much they’ve taught me personally - but in listening to their podcast I’ve come to admire their pastoral hearts so much too.
They make theology so palatable and understandable - both to a seminary graduate or to a brand new Christian. This podcast has deeply impacted my faith and ministry. So so thankful for them. Please never stop! :) this is probably the number one shared podcast I send out to my network - and that’s coming from a huge podcast girly! lol
Bless you both!
Insightful and gracious
I love the tone and the content of this podcast. They deal with important issues pertaining to following Jesus in a nuanced manner that is both bold and gentle.
