Taz and Sam

Front Porch Report

Religion EN ↓ 82 episodes

Coming from Conservative Baptist backgrounds, Taz and Sam each had their faith challenged and sharpened by their time spent co-leading a small group Bible Study on a secular college campus. Four years spent in the echo chamber of a different worldview forced them to confront major theological, philosophical, and political controversies in a respectful and intellectually honest manner. Now, with a balanced, yet uncompromised perspective that is so necessary in today's fraught climate, Sam and Taz offer incisive commentary about current events and a model for leading a small group bible study.
