Pursuing Truth.What's Your Stick?What's Your Stick?For many of you, the Bible sounds like a bunch or fairy tales. For me, confession, I struggle with certain stories in the Bible.

At least for us humans that think too much. For some of you, you have the gift of a simple faith. For most of us, we think too much. We are critical thinkers and natural skeptics. The more we do that, the...2020-12-1231 minFriDudes - Getting Real. Pursuing Truth.What Happens When You Die? Part 2 of 2There's a sequel to "What Happens When You Die?". Yes, a bit ironic. Remember in previous episodes where I say we are all flawed? Well, I didn't like the way Part 1 ended.
