    Ivy Insights

    The Whole Counsel of God podcast has been an instrumental part of my journey to Orthodox Christianity. Initially introduced to this podcast through the works of Sam Harris and Bart Ehrman, I found myself drawn to the discussions and teachings of Father Stephen DeYoung. From there, my exploration led me to Jordan Peterson and Jonathan Pageau, who further deepened my interest in Orthodox theology. Eventually, I stumbled upon the Lord of Spirits podcast, which ultimately led me to The Whole Counsel of God.

    One of the best aspects of The Whole Counsel of God podcast is the depth and thoroughness with which Fr. Stephen approaches his teachings. His extensive background knowledge and ability to provide a 360-degree view on each line of Holy Scripture is truly enlightening. Not only does he provide historical and cultural contexts, but he also delves into the verbiage of the original texts. This level of detail allows listeners to fully grasp the meaning behind various passages and understand their significance within the larger theological framework.

    Additionally, I appreciate Fr. Stephen's humility and approachability throughout his teachings. Despite his impressive knowledge and expertise, he maintains a sense of humility when engaging with his audience's questions and concerns. He actively encourages conversation and acknowledges when he needs time to find the best possible answer to a question. This open-mindedness fosters a sense of trust in his teachings and creates an environment where listeners feel comfortable exploring complex theological concepts alongside him.

    However, one potential downside is that some early episodes suffer from poor audio quality or low volume levels. While this issue may have been resolved in later episodes, it can still be frustrating for listeners who have to constantly adjust their speakers or strain to hear certain parts.

    In conclusion, The Whole Counsel of God podcast has been an invaluable resource on my journey towards Orthodox Christianity. Fr. Stephen DeYoung's thorough teachings, combined with his humility as a teacher, make for a truly engaging listening experience. Despite some minor audio quality issues in earlier episodes, the wealth of knowledge and depth of understanding shared on this podcast more than compensate for any shortcomings. I highly recommend The Whole Counsel of God to anyone seeking a comprehensive exploration of Holy Scripture and Orthodox theology.
