    Truth you can use
    I've been a Breakpoint fan since first hearing Chuck's commentary on Christian radio. It continues to be a solid source for rightly evaluating this cultural moment.

    My Favorite!
    This podcast is my absolute favorite. As a Christian, wife, mom and millennial, I find myself from time to time lost in how to process all of the crazy this world has to offer. Thank you for applying Godly worldview to the onslaught of news and reminding me daily that our God is King who has not and will not relinquish control. Keep letting God use you all 💜

    A Light in this Cultural Moment
    Listening daily to Breakpoint helps me make sense of the madness in today’s culture. The team at Colson Center helps me learn about and understand I would otherwise not be aware of. Their analysis and encouragement frequently helps calm my spirit and keeps me from driving off the road as I hear another wacky thing happening in our world.

    Breakpoint satisfies
    The Breakpoint podcast is my daily mouthful of commentary from a Christian worldview on relevant events in the news. It compels me to think and live biblically.

    Breakpoint is a podcast that every thinking Christian would benefit from. The issues of our day are thoughtfully addressed from a biblical worldview and give food for thought throughout my week.. I especially enjoy the Friday edition and John and Maria’s (feisty) recommendations.
  • BoerneMom
    Love the show
    I love the show but today when speaking about the Supreme Court arguments, they kept referring to Justice Alito as Justice Scalia who died in 2016.

    The cultural analysis that carries the vision and thinking of Chuck Colson
    Breakpoint provides insight and analysis in the tradition of Chuck Colson that is helpful to make sense of culture from a Biblical worldview. The wisdom of John Stonestreet and his team are a part of my daily routine. I highly recommend Breakpoint and all of the podcasts published by the Colson Center.
  • KH5Love
    Relevant and up to date information
    I am an Emergency Physician that started listening right before Covid started. Breakpoint has helped me stay sane during a very crazy time in medicine and a wacky time worldwide. I try to never miss an episode. I am thankful for the wisdom and the insight that I get from John, Maria and the whole team. Thank you! Keep up the good work.

    Truth
    Who doesn’t like to hear 100% truth??? Great podcast that’s inspired by the Lord.
  • SICU Guy
    Great info in “14,000 Harmed” episode
    This is a quote from N. T. Wright I heard in a webinar hosted by the Christian Medical Dental Association (CMDA) about the transgender debate on October 31, 2020. “The confusion of gender identity is now an Internet-fueled form of the ancient philosophy of Gnosticism. The gnostic, “one who knows,” has discovered the secret of who I really am behind the deceptive outward appearance. This involves denying the goodness and even the ultimate reality of the natural world.... Nature, however, tends to strike back, with the likely victims in this case being vulnerable and impressionable youngsters who, as confused adults, will pay the price for their elders’ fashionable fantasies.”

    Weather Modification
    Don’t knock those who are beginning to question who has the ability to control the weather at some level. Our government has spoken out loud about their goals. desires and abilities. There are patents and bills… countries including China have absolutely used weather warfare or modification and The Blaze recently published an article on this topic. It’s absolutely acceptable to question what’s natural and what’s not. After doing a great deal of research? Something IS clearly happening. Yet, of course, God ultimately trumps those who try to play God. He is Sovereign over it all. Check out the podcast episodes on The Highwire and Wise Traditions. Solid.

    Current events and worldview
    In these times it’s easy to bury our heads or get our news from social media. Breakpoint offers current events from a Christian worldview to help us live counter-cultural lives.
  • H&B 125
    Great discussion
    Great immigration and culture discussion in 9/13 podcast.
  • Wenngi
    Insightful and thoughtful
    I enjoy listening to daily breakpoint. The commentaries are thoughtful and biblically informed on current events. I gain so much insight and resources and learn about other influential thinkers and authors on various topics. Thank you so much for putting these out every day, it has made a huge impact on how I view so many current topics and events.

    Thank you for the timely reminder of the importance of my performance and being present in the work force. I get so discouraged some days by the Godless environment. This was just what I needed to hear!
  • Eagle9095
    Great help to worldview formation
    I listen to Breakpoint daily, and it has helped me in my thought process in dealing with critical issues.
  • detrickcrew
    Excellent Resource
    I have listened to Breakpoint for nearly a decade now, and I love the information they share. They’re one of my favorite Biblically centered resources when it comes to addressing the current culture and having a Christian worldview.
  • SuzPearl
    Regular listener
    These podcasts keep me encouraged and informed !
  • Amber with @Truthfetti
    Biblically solid & wise
    This is on my “always listen” list. I especially love Fridays with Maria & John. So much solid wisdom. Thank you Colson Center!
  • Grateful History Buff
    Daily dose of well-reasoned common sense
    This podcast is a gem. Simple, well-reasoned and accurate; these quick takes on the complex issues of our day cut through the noise of outrage and ideologies. The hosts are genuine and give it to you straight. For a Christian listener, this podcast is extremely helpful in staying grounded in the simple truths of the faith. For anyone else, it’s an excellent grounding in simple common sense.

    Insight and wisdom
    Much needed insight and wisdom in our cultural moment.
  • NRLDGY
    Infused with insight
    All of Gods people, young and old, male and female, rich or poor should be seeking to know and understand truth and then act upon what we know in faith. Seeking the inner gifts of wisdom, insight, knowledge, understanding and of course discernment is first and foremost found in scripture. However surrounding oneself with those who you’ve discerned to be wise, insightful and willing to share their insight and knowledge is essential. I have found a great deal of this on Break Point. John Stonestreet and Maria Bear and their guests continually confirm this apprenticeship with Jesus I am involved in as well as fill my heart and mind with the truth of scripture and its implication (s) for my life in the cultural world God has placed me in. Thank you and keep up this great work.
  • Alexa DiMuzio
    The best source for Christian worldview on current issues
    I’m so grateful for John & Maria’s thoughtful and biblical responses to current issues that can be hard to navigate in our cultural moment. I look forward to every episode, so grateful for this resource!
  • JimboKingo
    Thank you!
    Thank you John, for helping to keep us anchored in reality.
  • Babs Z
    Great podcast!
    I came across this podcast from something in the Alisa Childers podcast ( I believe) and I love it! The daily 1-5 minute look into the issues we are facing has been great. I really enjoy the hour long show on Fridays and it is helping me state the things I knew in my heart but didn’t always have the words to share with others. Keep speaking truth and upholding the word of God !!
  • _Alfred0
    Excellent!
    Great biblically-centered, God-glorifying podcast!

  • CKStoked
    Love, love, love this podcast
    Breakpoint is so solid and helpful to me as I process current events through a Christian Worldview. I especially appreciate the weekly hour-long episodes with John and Maria. I’ve found many amazing resources through their weekly recommendations.

    We Need Friendship as Well as Marriage
    Today's Breakpoint is awesome! I printed it out to share with the men's ministry leader at my church. Friendship is so important, and what is better than friendship with fellow believers. As stated, we still need marriage as well as friendships, but friendships can be very important to fight loneliness.
  • FormosaBearMama
    Thoughtful & thought-provoking
    Breakpoint creates extremely well-curated, succinct messages that share recent events or timely information through a Biblical worldview lens. A must listen to podcast for every believer!
  • TinyMom63
    Today’s divisive cultural issues discerned through the lens of Christian worldview
    An expert in identifying counterfeit currency doesn’t study the counterfeit, he studies the authentic currency. Breakpoint offers the authentic truth by which we can discern today’s cultural issues and still keep our footing in reality, and truth.
  • bauer clan
    Great honest relevant podcast!
    I appreciate this podcast so much for its Christ centered, vision and opinions. Thank . Listen regularly and YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!
  • John, Son of Thunder
    Always thought-provoking, frequently challenging.
    Applying Biblical thinking and perspective to current events is always a good thing. This podcast regularly reminds me to view current events and trends not through the lens of group-think, but with a longer, even eternal view. While I always enjoyed Chuck Colson’s books and Breakpoint radio spots, my attention was brought to these podcasts by John Stonestreet’s regular appearances on another news podcast I never miss. Now this podcast is added to that very small list.

    Breakpoint clarifies complicated issues
    This podcast clarifies a lot of complicated issues that are barging. We are young people, but adults as well. Thank you John and Maria for your Christian world view clarity on Breakpoint and The Point podcasts. Such clarity is SO needed in today’s cultural moment. The Lord bless and provide for you. 1 Tim 2:1-4
  • Peds Faculty
    Reasoned Clarity
    Breakpoint addresses current events, ideologies and today’s culture in such a clear and incisive fashion. The tone is never incendiary, yet it’s bold. The hosts are highly articulate and present the content in a relatable way being annoyingly chatty. This podcast will help you sharpen your critical thinking skills while also encouraging your Christian faith. The topics are addressed at an intellectual but accessible level. I can’t recommend it enough.
  • gdeppert
    Great summation of the week from a Christian world view!
    Two shows l have not missed for many years (even binge listening to catch up on missed shows) are the “World and Everything in It” and “Break Point This Week”. Both great shows that work on being balanced but definitely from a Christian viewpoint. Thanks for your efforts! Chuck Colson was always one of my modern Christian heroes! Greg
  • Linwall1
    Such a helpful perspective.
    I appreciate Breakpoint consistent effort to relate faith and culture. We need to remember we are called to be in the world and not of it. Breakpoint helps me to remember.
  • Kathleen Joy1
    Short and important
    Everyone should listen to at least the short breakpoint commentaries- consise and informative!
  • J456@
    Consise, clear thinking about modern issues
    John Stonestreet continues the legacy of Chuck Colson delivering straight to the point commentaries about modern issues. Probably the clearest thinking about topics that matter which I have found.
  • JimWF
    Why?
    I’ve very disappointed that you would use Claudia Gay’s resignation to then drop Donald Trumps name in comparison. Whatever you think of him this was totally unrelated and uncalled for. What a shame.
  • Eb0302
    Truth short and pointed
    Great daily summary of our culture. The Lord bless your excellent work.
  • Travis in Jesus
    Brilliant and highly valuable
    Brilliant podcast that really helps me understand the cultural issues. Every podcast they have shared has been worth listening to. I strongly recommend this podcast for any serious thinker.
  • MarshaWa
