What are you chasing and is God in it? That's what Jeff wants to know. Zack claims no one actually hears from God and maybe no one ever has (and Scott disagrees). Christians are on a wild goose chase for epicness, but should we be ok with the mundane? Jeff almost gets penalized for excessive use of Christianese. Plus, Zack had a dream about desperately searching for a bathroom. Did he make it in time? Jeff, Scott & Zack are joined once again by great friend "Quick Draw" Andy McCraw. Let us k...
