On the episode this week: Nate and Aaron discuss the Silas book, available on the membership part of the app (only $7.95).

Nate and Aaron talk with guest David Zahl. David is a husband, father, author, theologian, pastor, and podcaster. He comes from a family with alcoholism and addiction. David helps debunk myths about grace, like its only for non-believers, if you have more grace you will sin more, and soulmates. The discussion also includes: how Jesus treated those in sexual sin, can you have recovery without compassion, and someone who has an affair is esteemed worse than a murder.
