In 2023, I teamed up with Rip Wahlberg to co-host the Discovering God Podcast. Through the Discovering God Podcast, our hope is that individuals will have a direct encounter with God by engaging with the scriptures. Our goal is to help make the scriptures, theology, and faith understandable. If you have not checked out our podcast yet, I would encourage you to check out a few episodes. This podcast is accessible in both audio and video formats, with production and editing handled by Blake Whalberg of In The Wild Media Group

Over the past year, we have conversed about many topics on the Discovering God Podcast. Some of those topics have ranged from the significance of the church to barriers people face in finding faith, but also exploring subjects such as fame within the church, and the advantages and disadvantages of systematic theology. Recording approximately 13 episodes in 2023, the Discovering God Podcast is gradually expanding its audience. It appears that the video version of our podcast has gained slightly more traction than the audio version.

As I look back at 2023, I found it interesting to reflect on what four episodes were our most popular. Our new podcast may not be able to claim groundbreaking streaming records, but the growing influence of our podcast has been both humbling and unexpected. Additionally, I have found recording this podcast has become a growing experience for me as a teacher and communicator. I am eager for the future of our podcast, and also to share the top 4 video podcasts of the past year (2023) with you.
