answering your bold questions on faith

In this episode, host Hollie Freeman leans into some of the big and often unspoken questions of faith. Why Jesus and not another path? Is yoga ok?

If you’ve ever found yourself asking the “big bold” questions, this episode is for you. “But test everything; hold fast what is good.” 1 Thessalonians 5:21
