RefNet Christian Radio

R.C.’s book “Chosen By God” was the impetus to my understanding the Scripture’s doctrine of salvation. My life was changed forever. I miss R.C., but I am forever grateful for his book and also Ref Net where I can continue to hear him preach, as well as other trustworthy preachers. Also, as a stay at home mom, I don’t want to fiddle around trying to choose message after message all day long as each one comes to an end. With Ref Net, I just turn it on during breakfast and let it play all day. Even with the kids playing at my feet or the faucet running while I do the dishes, the Holy Spirit allows me to hear what I need to hear despite the background noise. My three year old has repeated some of R.C.’s words as she played at the table. Even kids benefit from this! I am grateful for Ref Net and have recommended it to many.

I’ve been listening now for many months, and I love the content. It is what I primarily listen to, outside of the Bible itself. It is a great blessing to me and I hope to many others. The only reason it did not get 5 stars, was the interface. It seems to support only landscape mode on the iPad, whereas the iPhone version supports both Portrait and Landscape modes. The iPhone version, visually, is better with the scrolling “what’s playing” information the size of a title bar rather than the huge banner being displayed on the iPad version (I feel like it’s yelling at me like an over zealous Baptist Preacher). This is a minor issue in my opinion and should not deter you from downloading and listening! As I stated above, it’s about the content and you cannot beat it anywhere else (outside of the Bible itself). I haven’t found another like RefNet and I highly recommend it to you.

Since becoming a believer in May 2016, Ligonier Ministries has been an incredible blessing to me, introducing me to some of the most incredible Christian teachers and theologians. Besides belonging to a wonderful church, I simply cannot get enough of learning about my newfound Christian faith, and so prior to finding RefNet, I was constantly listening to reformed sermons or podcasts by Sproul and company online. I love that RefNet is this wonderful collection of catechism, Bible reading, sermons, music, book reading, and even dramatizations. I feel a bit like I have been transported back to an era when radio was our window to the world. Speaking of which, when I get in my vehicle, I no longer play the radio. RefNet is my go-to whether I am driving or even just washing dishes. I am so thankful for this gift from God!

This app is amazing! I tune in to RefNet every day to hear the preaching of gifted, godly teachers like R.C. Sproul, John Gerstner, Steve Lawson, John MacArthur, John Piper, Alistair Begg; listen to beautiful hymns, orchestral arrangements, and acoustic songs; ponder the reading of edifying and relevant books, confessions, and catechisms. The sheer quality and quantity of spiritual resources this service provides is phenomenal and unique to an app like this, which shouldn't be too surprising considering the amount of teaching fellows who affiliate with Ligonier Ministries. The app works extremely well, never having crashed for me and functioning smoothly with every tap. The audio is usually crisp and clear as well. I appreciate the schedule within the app so I can see what will be playing in an hour, or I can see when John Piper's "Sermon of the Day" or the next lecture from John Gerstner will air. This app has a perfect balance of quality and quantity, and I couldn't recommend it more to a growing follower of Christ!

I listen to RefNet every day and have heartily recommended it to friends and family. It is one of the many resources by Ligonier Ministries that has enriched my soul through the faithful teaching of God’s Word. I appreciate the simplicity of the app’s interface and usability. My one Ask would be for an alarm function that would automatically turn on the app in the mornings. How wonderful it would be to wake up to Mornings by Spurgeon, a prayer from the Valley of Vision, or the preaching of God’s Word by Alistair Begg, Sinclair Ferguson, or RC Sproul! Nevertheless, thank you to everyone at Ligonier for this app. To God be the glory!
