Welcome to the We Should Know Better Podcast (fka Bros, Bibles & Beer)!We believe that exploring the depths of faith, theology, and culture shouldn't feel like sitting through a dry lecture. Whether we're dissecting complex scripture or discussing how faith intersects with modern life, we do it with honesty, humor, and the realization that—honestly—we should probably know better by now. Join us for unfiltered conversations that challenge the mind without losing the heart (or the sense of humor).
