Skeptic Disciple

Two nerds who love the Bible, yet struggle to reconcile it with real life. This isn’t the typical Christian podcast. We are believers who welcome theological challenges because we believe they strengthen our faith. We like to think of the Bible and the Good News of Jesus in a way that brings out its validity in our daily lives. You don’t have to be a believer to listen. We welcome different perspectives, and we seek to be respectful of different points of view. Welcome!
