GPS to God

This episode really gets deep with several questions that lead to conversation such as how do you describe Waffle House to someone? Is Butterfinger a top tier candy bar?

We wrap things up with Jesus is the foundation of our faith.

As we pick up in chapter 8 we get to hear from Job's other two friends that came to visit him - Bildad and Zophar.
