Amazed and Perplexed

Jason Thornton and Connor Bryantamazedandperplexed.buzzsprout.com

Ever been afraid to read the Bible because there were parts you couldn’t understand. We were, but then we realized Jesus’ apostles didn’t understand much of what he said either. They were amazed and perplexed. When they shared Jesus with others, those people were amazed and perplexed too. Join us as we look at what amazes and perplexes us about Jesus. Doubt, questions and wonder are all welcome.
