His teachings are grounded in Scripture and challenge listeners to think critically about their faith and how it relates to their daily lives.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is Viola's emphasis on the centrality of Christ. He consistently points listeners back to Jesus as the source of truth, transformation, and spiritual growth. His teachings go beyond mere religion and offer practical guidance for living out one's faith in a meaningful and authentic way. The podcast features both monologues by Viola and recordings from his speaking events, providing a diverse range of perspectives on various topics.

    Frank features a Bible-based preacher (and self-professed scholar) who gives an interesting discourse on Paul of Tarsus in the New Testament. Namely, the bad things Paul did, the good things Paul did, and the things that Paul did that were neither good nor bad.
