MNR 169: Would You Like To Take A Survey?

Today on the show, Jenny and Brandt lead off with a provocative piece on Christian "purity culture" and if we see that in the Church. We also can't stop talking about the decision to remove murals and live endowment reenactments, and finally talk about the implications of a new church survey that went out. All that plus more on the Report!

As always, today's show is brought to you by our friends at Signature Books. Check out their entire collection at SignatureBooks.com
