Back to Basics is the radio and publishing ministry of Pastor Brian Brodersen of Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa. This ministry is designed to take people back to the basic principles for living found in the Word of God. It is our hope that through this ministry you will "grow in the grace and in the knowledge of our precious Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."

1999 became a believer in Jesus’ blood sacrifice for my sins. 

2000-2002 listened to Brian’s Back to Basics every day. Thought it was OK, but nothing radical or sensational.

2003-2010. Came to realize Brian’s methodical and rational teaching approach—wherein he splits hairs over issues and details, theology and doctrine, historicity vs modernity, like nobody’s business—had become some of the best teaching I’d ever heard.

Certainly in my top three teachers of all time. When he teaches, the student cannot miss what is being taught. Not only do you hear and understand, but his teaching of the Lord’s words become written in the believer’s heart, manifesting itself in our walk. 

2011-2020...  Still the same. Brian’s teaching is simply; amazing.

Listen to Brian’s rationality. He isn’t trying to sell anyone on anything, other than what the world rejects: Jesus.

From low on my list to top three!

Brian Brodersen has the gift of love and you can hear it in his voice.

What a blessing to have this podcast.
