What Are They Saying About Us
"Do you want to learn the Bible in an understandable, down-to-earth way? Paul Nitz and “Share The Word” will be the ticket. I’ve known Paul since we were teenagers, and he is simply one of the most gifted teachers I know—clear, relevant, interesting, and theologically sound. He has my full confidence and I am happy to recommend this podcast".-- Dr. Jeffrey Arthurs Prof. of Preaching and Communication Gordon-Conwell Theology Seminary
“Share the Word” is like sharing a gourmet meal. Gifted teacher and theologian Paul Nitz takes huge biblical truths and breaks them into understandable bite-sized pieces to spiritually nourish his audience. His studies always help me apply godly principles and then leave me hungry for more! -- Margie Biasotto, co-creator "The Amazing Collection"
"I am a Christian because of the teaching ministry of Paul Nitz. His willingness to allow me to ask the tough questions about Christianity and dialogue in a thoughtful way without becoming defensive was life changing. Paul’s extensive biblical knowledge, intellect, and talent for communication is second to none and I'm more than glad to recommend "Share the Word". -- Harold Schmidt, Author and Playwright
"My first hand experience of Paul’s gift as a teacher has been profound. His theological grasp and teaching of God's Word goes beyond what I’d ever experienced. He keeps me on the edge of my seat hungry to learn more, and I retain more than I ever have before. It's obvious that Paul is unusually gifted at instilling the Word of God in listeners' hearts and I for one am thrilled about the “Share the Word" podcast". -- Tony Pace, Vegas Headliner and Entertainer
