Road Trip

Road Trip

"Based on this historical example, if our passion is to end abortion in our nation, the best way to do so is to circumvent political processes (which, to date, have not proven very effective), and to love our neighbor as Jesus commanded." Keith Giles ~  Jesus Untangled  Today's show is a mixed bag of talk about reproductive rights, and I'll also take you on...

How to UNFUCK the Church

How to UNFUCK the Church

This is not the Easter episode you expected, but it may be the episode that you need to hear.
