How do we exchange the identity we have gained from our past with the identity Scripture declares we walk in? If you were able to be a non-anxious presence in your home, how would that affect your day to day life? Listen and find out...

Total Movie RecallTMR 046 – Leprechaun This week on Total Movie Recall, Steve and Ryan wonder why kids are scared of the stupidest boogeymen. The Leprechaun haunted Ryan for his entire childhood, waiting in dark corners, making it unable for him to pee in the middle of the night. If only he had watched the movie when he was seven years old, and seen how stupid, unscary, unwitty, and half-assed this boring, lazy movie is, he wouldn’t have wasted another second being scared. The Leprechaun can’t even be bothered to turn limericks into dirty rhymes. Nantucket! It rhymes itself! Lepr...
