Faith Adjacent

In this latest Favored or Forsaken episode, we’re talking all about Faith Sabbatical (but we all know the actual title of this episode). After a hiatus from the majority of the content here at The Bible Binge, Knox is back! He’s joined by Jamie and Erin, who all discuss what it looks like to pause your faith. Along the way, you’ll hear about what Knox has been up to for the past few months, when a leave of absence might be helpful, and why Jonah is the realest fairytale of them all. MENTIONS What did Erin say about the Jedi and Bluey?
