Last June, my family and I, along with a few other friends, visited an awesome ministry called Cherish Uganda. We were so impressed with this ministry that we decided to record a podcast on site, where we talked with one of their leaders Brent Phillips and several others from the team at Cherish Uganda. Cherish Uganda is a faith-based nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering hope & a promising future for families in need. Their mission is: To transform our community spiritually through education, healthcare, & family strengthening. Cherish is doing some amazing, holistic, and gospel-centered ministry outside of Kampala, Uganda. Please consider donating to this ministry here: https://www.cherishuganda.com/donate-1

Dr. Scot McKnight is a professor, author, golfer. He's also a newly converted Clevland Guardians fan and believes that Michael Jordan (not Lebron James) was the best basketball player of all time. Oh, and Scot is also a world renowned New Testament scholar who's written dozens of books and several commentaries on various books in the New Testament, including his most recent commentary: Revelation for the Rest of Us: A Prophetic Call to Follow Jesus as a Dissident Disciple. This podcast conversation is free flowing. It ranges from technical scholarly issues to baseball to MJ vs. Lebron to politics to a theopolitical reading of the book of Revelation. In short, Babylon is everywhere. And Christians must "come out of her" (Rev 18). Register for the Exiles 2 day conference in Denver (Oct 4-5) here: https://theologyintheraw.com/exiles-denver/
