  • Fascinating

    I am what I like to call religiously confused. I left the church and full time ministry about ten years ago. I then delved into 10’s of thousands of hours of study in world religion and philosophy. I just happened to have stumbled upon this, and I find it to be the balance the Christian church needs. My own story aside it’s been fascinating listen to hear these young people wrestle with their ideas, values, and personal preference, in service of a higher ideal. Great pod.

    Worth the listen.

Love these people and their heart for not settling with status quo. Thankful that they tackle the things that the Church doesn't talk about well or at all.
