    I’m really enjoying Season 9 so far! Keep up the great work! I feel inspired by hearing it’s okay, and even inspiring for me to say, “I’m Christian, but not THAT kind of Christian!”

Season 10 BONUS - Full Conversation with Wil Gafney
Q: How would you encourage Christians who are breaking away from authoritarian ways of hearing scripture to wrestle with the text?

Dear Mama God with Daneen Akers (Part 1)
