March 05, 2023 Stepping into dark places with Jeremy Jenkins and ATAP
We’re taking a field trip outside of the church to enter scientology, a wiccan coven or maybe even a cult. Jeremy Jenkins with All Things All People will be our guide in this episode because these are common occurrences for him. Take a deep breath and tell your fear that you’re safe as Jeremy explains how going into dark places and world religions will help us become better Christians.

February 27, 2023 Phylicia Masonheimer: Everyone is a Theologian
If you're asking questions like “Why is there evil in the world? Why do I need a savior from sin? What happened on the cross? Why does the resurrection even matter? How do I walk by the spirit? What’s the church supposed to look like?” then this episode is for you.
Phylicia Masonheimer wrote a book on all these topics for real people. It’s more than a devotional but it’s not an academic tradebook, either. If you feel intimidated by theology but want to know more about who God is, Phylicia presents multiple perspectives to help you deeply understand what you believe - and why.
