Episode 15: THE EUCHARIST: What does it mean to eat God?

Have you ever wondered why you feel very little, if anything at all, upon receiving the sacrament of the Eucharist, despite the fact that it is said to be the literal body of Christ? Tune in to the thirteenth edition of the podcast to hear Kevin and Jackson's thoughts on both this question and others pertaining to the Eucharist, such as whether or not those who never receive this holiest of sacraments are going to hell?

Episode 14: Why doesn't the Bible condemn slavery?

One might expect that the Holy Bible, a text which is supposedly true for all of time, would explicitly condemn one of the worst evils known to man, that being slavery. And yet, not only does the Bible fail to condemn slavery, there are multiple instances in which God even provides instruction for how to properly own slaves. What are we to do with this? Does this render the Bible totally worthless and untrue? Tune in to Episode 12 (part II) to find out what Kevin and Jackson think.
