The 8:32 Podcast
What is the truth? Why does it matter? “Your truth” will always let you down. If you’re tired of that, I hope you’ll listen as we learn together about THE truth. God is NOT afraid of our questions, so on this podcast, we’ll ask them! We’ll build a solid foundation in theology, we’ll learn how to defend our faith, and we’ll wrestle through hard questions! We’ll also have so many conversations exploring how the truth changes the way we do school, work, sports, social media, relationships, and anything else we do every day. The truth matters, so we need to talk about it! If you’ve ever found yourself doubting, questioning, struggling to defend your faith, or simply wanting to learn more, this is for you! - Eden :)
