United States2 months ago - So encouraging!
I listen to stay encouraged to keep praying for my Atheist, Agnostic and pseudo-Christian cult family members. Fan of Nancy Pearcey (read her book years ago), and was so excited when she came on to share her journey from moral relativism to Christianity.
Apple Podcasts5NeedToGrowUnited States3 months ago - Weak
There is a lot of weak reasoning on display by converts. Example: Realizing that places mentioned in the Bible actually existed doesn’t prove the Bible’s reliability on all things historical. And the host is rather awkward.
