In the opening credits of the pod, Eren and Ashley introduce themselves as "disgruntled pastor's daughters who still love Jesus." Why are they so disgruntled? And why do they still love Jesus? Eren and Ashley dive into a bit of their personal stories to shed some light on this.

This was a fascinating conversation, but unfortunately the first half has some serious audio issues. We are really sorry. If you wanted to skip ahead to when the audio issue gets fixed you can skip to 29:00. If you tough it out to catch the beginning, we applaud you dear listener! You are a real one.

We are getting some amazing emails and recommendations from our listeners over email. If you also want to send us your question, comment, or outburst we would love to read it and consider it for a new podcast topic. Email us at [email protected]
