Guest Comments
"Keith Plummer is one of the most thoughtful interviewers I have heard or worked with. He asks questions that get to the heart of issues. He knows how to bring out the deepest concerns of interviewees, and those of most value to the listeners. I greatly enjoyed my time on the air, and I cannot often say that. I do recommend this broadcast both to participants and listeners. May God continue to use this ministry to his glory." - Dr. John Frame, Professor of Systematic Theology & Philosophy at Reformed Theological Seminary
"Keith and his friends at Pensees possess two virtues which are not often found together: tough intellectual rigor and a gracious, charitable spirit. In an evangelical world where love for truth often disintegrates into combative, judgmental arguments, I was impressed both by the quality and the welcoming, affirming nature of Keith's questions. He was well-prepared for the interview, handled our exchange with the aplomb and professionalism of a veteran anchor, and made the entire evening an overwhelmingly positive experience for me and the audience. I would welcome an opportunity to return to Pensees, and strongly recommend other invited guests to do the same." - Dr. Michael Wittmer, Associate Professor of Systematic Theology at Grand Rapids Theological Seminary, author of Heaven is a Place on Earth
"Dear Keith, it was indeed, a joy for me to join you and the Pensees group. The interaction, especially with you, was edifying and very encouraging, and so I thank you. Even though the Lord has graciously allowed me to do a number of interviews on my books, our time together was one of the richest I've experienced. I'm humbled to know that the Lord is continuing to use "Idols of the Heart" to speak to His children. It's a further delight to know that believers are using the internet in such a Christ-honoring, redemptive way. Thanks again for this opportunity." - Elyse Fitzpatrick, author and conference speaker
"The Pensees discussion group reminded me of some really good Bible studies from my college days, when everyone was engaged, everyone was thinking on a high level, and everyone was hungry and thirsty for learning about and acting upon God's Word. And now, thanks to our communication technology, this kind of interaction is no longer limited to time and space, but people can join in on their computers and tap into the conversation long after it took place. This is a great example of how Christians can use the new technology to wire themselves together." - Dr. Gene Edward Veith, cultural editor of World Magazine; author of Loving God With All Your Mind: Thinking as a Christian in the Postmodern World
"Keith, It was a privilege and delight to be with you on Pensees recently. Thanks for the opportunity. I appreciated your thorough and winsome interviewing style. You had obviously read the book - which I can't say for all the interviewers with whom I've talked. You seem to have a very thoughtful group of participants. Their questions seem to have been carefully considered and asked, not to challenge, but to clarify for the sake of being able to practice what they were hearing and reading. I pray that your ministry might flourish. Don't hesitate to call on me again some time." - T. M. Moore, author of Redeeming Pop Culture: A Kingdom Approach
"I enjoyed the program. You are an excellent host. I think the technology fits the purpose with your approach. You ask good questions, set them up well, and give the person adequate time to respond. All the questioners were sharp as well. And there are no commercials!" - Dr. Douglas Groothuis, Associate Professor of Philosophy at Denver Seminary, author of The Soul in Cyberspace
"I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the gang at PalTalk and appreciated Keith's skill at interviewing and managing the web environment. I was especially stimulated by the quality of the questions, the intelligence of the participants, and the geographical breadth represented by the group. My time was leveraged well talking with serious Christians who were committed to accomplishing the goals of Pensees: bridging the gap between the intellect and the affections, between theological scholarship and the local church, and between the church and culture. If these are your interests also, spend an hour or so with this group. It will be worth your time." - Greg Koukl, Founder and President of the apologetics organization Stand to Reason
"I had a wonderful experience meeting and conversing with the Pensees group. They were thoughtful, courteous, kind, and stimulating. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with them. I am inspired by what Keith has done and continues to do. Bringing many different people together from all over the country or world to enter into serious theological discussion together is not simply "cool"; it strikes me as having much potential for being productive. I know that my own ministry has served as a lifeline for many lonely Christians across the land who desperately need someone to dialogue with them in order to make sense out of their life, their God, and their faith. The possibility exists for more effectively serving such people through the technology that Keith is learning to apply to just such a task. I am thankful that Keith is pioneering and developing this important tool. And I am grateful for having had the opportunity to explore it with him." - Dr. Jack Crabtree, coauthor of The Language of God: A Commonsense Approach to Understanding the Bible, teacher at McKenzie Study Center and Gutenberg College
"My experience with Pensees was outstanding in every respect. First, to be invited to participate in this online discussion group about my book on worldview was an honor indeed. Second, Keith was first class in all that he did from the technical arrangements, to the insightful and clear questions he asked, to his Christian charity expressed throughout. Finally, the sharp questions that the participants asked have kept me thinking well after the session concluded. I was encouraged by my visit and I hope that many others will have the opportunity to be a part of this very good work that honors God and edifies the saints." - Dr. David Naugle, Prof. of Philosophy at Dallas Baptist University, author of Worldview: The History of a Concept
