076 - Unity in Weakness in the Body of Christ, Part 2

Another fun podcast for you.  Ray Jewell and I are off on yet another road trip and this time we are chatting about his newest book - Unity in Weakness in the Body of Christ part 2.  It's a great devotional commentary on II Corinthians written from a pastor's heart.  Its encouraging and easy to read.  So listen in as two good friends banter about the Bible while trying to stay on the road...
