Show notes

During the hardest year of Craig Gross's life, he and his wife Jeanette found cannabis to not only help them cope, but to find a new way of life and a new way of thinking. Now they're out to break the taboo of cannabis use within the church to give other people the freedom to try something that might actually help them too.

#441 Richard Rohr Apr 02, 2019

Show notes

There's only a few interviews we've done that leave us with a feel of awe and inspiration. This was definitely one of them! We had the privilege of talking to Richard Rohr about his upbringing, what Universalism is all about, and where Evangelicals are getting it wrong.

#439 Can it Really be This Good? with Brian McLaren Mar 19, 2019

Show notes

Brian McLaren, author of "The Great Spiritual Migration: How the World's Largest Religion is Seeking a Better Way to be Christian," has had a massive impact on Joey's belief updates, so he was very excited to talk to him today and even call him a mentor. Something about Universalism just seems a little too good to be true for Toby to jump on board, so at the end of the episode, he sets it straight again.
