These two guys are my favorite podcasters --
We are two guys who have been encouraging each other in the journey outside the bounds of institutional religion for several years now and share many of our candid thoughts and questions in our podcast, "Beyond the Box".
We don't claim to have a corner on the truth, and there doesn't seem to be any topic or question that is "out of bounds" in our discussions. As we say in the intro to each podcast, we're just two guys thinking out loud, exploring the wide open spaces of our freedom in Christ. Come with us and explore life beyond the box!
Well I am happy to report that all the new animals were still here this morning. We were a little afraid they might escape in the night and what a mess that would have been to deal with this morning. But they are all here. Yay!!!
