About the Show
Our interviews with leading Christian and non-Christian thinkers will challenge you to consider truth. We hope our podcast will help you understand what’s happening in your workplace, home, community, and society, then apply Jesus’s teachings there.
We don’t take ourselves too seriously. Or any tribe, for that matter. So prepare yourself to laugh, think, get offended, change your mind, or shout in agreement.
Above all, you’ll become the kind of leader and thinker whose outlook is shaped by Jesus, not mainstream media out to get a buck and fuel the outrage.
