We are now in the season of Lent, so Pastors Brian, Josh, and Judah begin this episode with a discussion of the purpose of the lenten season and the purpose of the spiritual discipline of fasting. Then, they look at recent increases in Bible sales and reflect on what that might mean for society at large. Next, they talk about the harm that comes from phrases like "Can I be honest?" and "I'm just sayin'" and how we can get better at communicating hard information in a kind and helpful manner. They end with another round of their game Who Said It?
