Too bad this is an audio only podcast as Seth is looking like a male model. Beyond Seth's good looks, we talk about gun culture and some of the differences in American culture vs. European culture. Ultimately, we are just really grieved by what has been taking place.

The importance of loving our neighbor, no matter their political leaning, cannot be overstated.
Today we tackle a difficult discussion; how should we as Christians react to fallen pastors? Unfortunately there's many examples recently of Christians leaders who've stepped down or been fired due to immoral behavior. What should our response be? Can/should we separate the teacher from his teachings? Join us on episode 15 for this compelling discussion.
