  • Foul Language

    If this is a Christian podcast why are you continuing to have your host/guest speakers keep cursing in your conversations. The conversations depending on the topic are very inappropriate.

    If you really are Christian’s then act and talk like it.

    To be Christ like means that whatever Christ said, we say, whatever Christ acted like, we act like.

    The stories are hilarious, I enjoy that part but this is ridiculous.

    Amazing podcast. I was live for some of the June after hours episode. You recorded it in may. Also, I sent you that one pretty neat hat back in the calling youth pastors episode. It was my favorite hat I’ve ever made. I hope you like it. Also, some of those stories are WILD.
