The Backwoods Baptist

Religion EN ↓ 112 episodes

We seek to apply a heaping helping of country fried commonsense to the issues facing Christians today. We praise the Lord for the educated men and the resources that are available to Believers today. Our concern is the absence simple yet sound teaching for the common man. Somewhere between Harvard and a bunch of hillbillies lies the backwoods. It is here that we talk church with an open Bible in the plain language of the people.
