Episode 049 - Denominations: Why Can’t We All Just Get Along?

We're back! Last we spoke, we talked about Catholicism, and this week we talk about the Protestant faith and how the division of denominations plays a role in splitting up God's people. As believers in Christ, unity in Biblical truths is essential, but too often we let non-essential items divide us.

Episode 048 - Catholicism

On this week’s episode Jeff & Mike do a brief dive into Catholicism. There are some interesting diversions in the Catholic faith that we don’t see in other faiths … but are those diversions Biblical? Are they beneficial, or detrimental, to faith in Jesus? Tune in to hear our talk, and yes … believe it or not - MORE rice krispy treats!!
