**We're currently on a brief vacation and will return in early 2022, but wanted to replay some of our favorite episodes and interviews from this past year** Hope you enjoy!
March for Life Series: This is a four-part series that looks at the value of life through the various societal lenses of faith and politics.
Will and Josh speak with the Distinguished Scholar of Biblical Studies at Westmont College, Dr. Tremper Longman about his book "The Bible and the Ballot" where he provides a unique Christian perspective about abortion. Tremper talks about the nuance of hyperbole in the old testament scriptures and discusses how different translations of the Bible can affect the reader's interpretation of the meaning behind the words. Josh shares a personal story about a 2loss in his life and asks for Tremper's thoughts about the afterlife and reunification with a loved one.
