We have the means of life but without the resurrection, our life has no meaning. We descend to despair, while we play pretend during Lent. Joel Hess from Ringside Preachers Podcast and Donavon Riley from Banned Books Podcast expose things you won't hear in church. "The Ringers" talk philosophy, heresy, literature, art, and faith to expand your mind this Lent.
