Simply Heaven

Episode 29 begins with an honest admission: there are some biblical topics the guys aren't quite ready to tackle yet.

The discussion explores how modern culture increasingly treats truth...

In Episode 20, the guys tackle a powerful and deeply personal question: What does a good Christian father actually look like?

In Episode 13, the guys tackle one of the most misunderstood tensions in Christianity: grace versus truth — and why Jesus embodied both at 100 percent.
