Shouldn’t have shut it down

For what it’s worth, if any of you still want to do this, I’m here for it. Bring in a new third host.

Always a Pleasure

The discussions between these guys are always on point with what today’s relationship between church and society. I love the intellectual nature of discussions that is a prime ingredient next to practicality, whether it comes to thinking about church and life or doing church and life. Love these guys and their real approach to the Christian wall!

Bangers

This is easily my favorite podcast of the dozens I listen to on a weekly basis. The perfect blend of sarcasm, transparency, and humor is just spot on. It’s the only show that consistently makes me laugh out loud.
