My favorite podcasts in 2023, in no particular order:
a) Theopolis Podcast -Unmistakably the richest biblical resource you will find. If you are looking for lectures, sermons, and conversations that will stir your biblical imagination and indoctrinate you with biblical categories, look no further.
b) The Civitas Podcast – My friends James Wood and Peter Leithart offer some of the finest conversations on political theology, challenging standard classical liberal principles on both the left and the right through the lenses of a robust ecclesiocentric perspective. The podcast is still in its infancy, but every single conversation and interview gets better and better.
c) Knox Unplugged Podcast – Some of the people I love most listen to this podcast, and it took me a while to get on board because of concurring interests. Still, David Shannon and Jason Farley are the intellectual testosterone we need today. In a very conversational style, Mr. Surfer-Dude, Jason Farley, delves into deep philosophical concepts, and David (Knox) brings the whole thing home. This podcast will give you great conversation starters.
d) The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast – Jordan is the secular C.S. Lewis of our age. He may be already in the kingdom, but I don’t have any proof. Every single conversation he has is a case for thunderous common grace. Peterson is the happiest generalist I know and can easily converse on any subject like he’s played that role on TV all his life.
Honorable mentions:
The Daily Poem with David Kern offers various poetry readings with helpful backgrounds and explanations.
Canon Calls with Jake McAtee is always insightful. His guests are always compelling. I was probably the exception.
Reformed Forum Podcast is a VanTillian and Classical podcast offering an overview of fascinating Reformed figures and discussing profound theological subjects. These guys are academically trained in language and history.
Full Proof Theology Podcast with Chase Davis. Watch out for this dude! He is going places.
“I believe firmly in plodding. Productivity is more a matter of diligent, long-distance hiking than it is one-hundred-yard dashing. Doing a little bit now is far better than hoping to do a lot on the morrow. So redeem the fifteen-minute spaces. Chip away at it.”
