How did Jesus handle the crowd? All that and more! Let's get into it!

In this episode, Tommy and Jesse address the issues that arise when those we trust to give us the truth...don't. What happens when the truth isn't the truth?

I this episode, pastors Tommy and Jesse answer the age-old question, "what does God want me to do with my life?"...well, not really, but sort of!
