But in the core, we wrestled with this challenge of, are we supposed to be, you know, are we supposed to be ourselves or are we...

Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. This week, we're gonna be talking about one of our favorite subjects here on the podcast, which is anger and murder. Yay. Aren't you excited? I told Alex this week that his sermon was both my favorite sermon he's ever preached and my least favorite all at the same time because it weasels its way into my soul and pointed out some of the brokenness in me.

Is this how the church is supposed to be? And are we gonna be just opening, sharing time constantly? So we're gonna rest with that. W...
