Everything that we do in the name of God is a justification for our impiety. We call it worship, we call it repentance, we call it preparation, but really it’s performative acts. But when the Word becomes Flesh, it is not performance. Jesus comes and this is not a test! Joel Hess from Ringside Preachers Podcast and Donavon Riley from Banned Books Podcast expose things that you won’t hear in church. in this micro-series, “The Ringers” talk philosophy, heresy, art, and faith focused on the Advent of our Lord.
