Happy Wednesday, friends! Today on the podcast, we are excited to share a conversation with Andy Bannister! Andy shares about his faith journey and his experience going from an “undercover Christian” to working in public Christian ministry. They talk about the types of questions young people are asking about faith, and the complications surrounding the decline of Christianity in western culture. They also talk about beauty, math, human rights, and how they relate to God, why performance based acceptance has no place in the message of Jesus, and more! We hope you enjoy this episode!
